Puppies learn from humans

-

PUPPIES quickly learn skills by watching humans, researcher­s found.

From birth they treat us almost like one of the pack thanks to thousands of years of domesticat­ion, a study discovered.

It also found they learn more from other dogs than from their own mums.

Dr Claudia Fugazza, of Eotvos Lorand University in Hungary, said: “We found social learning skills are present in eight-weekold puppies.”
