Content: So, Goldman thinks looking at head tilting over a dog’s lifetime could be informative. “ Are we seeing more in puppies when their eyes are not fully developed? Or maybe when dogs become geriatric, and their vision (and hearing) starts declining, we see a re-emergence.” Positively Reinforcing Head Tilting
Goldman believes that we can influence head tilting by how we interact with our dogs. “ I think it might happen more often in certain dogs than others because it’s reinforced. I believe it is usually followed by a positive event, like ‘Do you want a cookie?’ or ‘Do you want a walk?’ or ‘Do you want to go in the car?’ and things of that nature. I don’t think most people say, ‘Do you want to go to the vet?’”
