1. "Me irritan muchísimo quienes nos preguntan, con mirada fingidamente horrorizada: "¿No me estará usted juzgando?". Pues sí, claro que lo juzgo, lo juzgo continuamente. (...) Concedo mi estima, o la retiro, dosifico mi amabilidad, dejo en suspenso mi amistad a la espera de pruebas complementarias, me distancio, me acerco, me aparto, concedo un aplazamiento, hago borrón y cuenta nueva, o finjo que lo hago.

In other words, if the dog knows it's wrong to destroy furniture yet deliberately and maliciously does it, remembers the wrong he did and feels guilt, it feels like he merits a punishment2, doesn't it? That's just what dogs have been getting - a lot of punishment. We set them up for all kinds of punishment by overestimating their ability to think. Interestingly, it's the "cold" behaviorist model that ends up giving dogs a much better crack at meeting the demands we make of them. The myth gives problems to dogs they cannot solve and then punishes them for failing. And the saddest thing is that the main association most dogs have with that punishment is the presence of their owner. This puts a pretty twisted spin on loooving dogs ‘cause they're so smart, doesn't it?"
