Dog Emotion and Cognition

Excellent course and Dr. Hare's book is a great read!

The thing I like most was the vocation of Dr. Hare to explain the wonderful world of dogs Really useful information to understand your dogs behavior.

Dr. Hare's research and influence will make a huge impact on the dog training community and on the overall welfare of dogs in decades and centuries to come.

Thank you Dr. Hare for having this available to educate the people about the amazing potential of their pets!

I like in particular how because Dr. Hare has included other animals in his field of study, that these comparisons are brought into lectures.

Dr. Hare is an awesome speaker!

Dr. Hare provides a lot of information and is very entertaining.

While dense in information Dr. Hare was really good at addressing his audience and explaining terms that the non-scientific population may not know.

a great introduction to cognition topics in both humans and animals, you gonna learn interesting topics about cogniton and evolution, Dr. Hare its a great lecturer and every video lesson is fun and enjoyable!!!

Dr. Hare is engaging and the material was interesting.

Dr. Hare speaks really clearly and with a lot of enthusiasm.

The experiment videos Dr. Hare shows are really interesting!

Muy interesante A fantastic course, really well taught and easy to follow.

I found the lectures easy to follow and to the point.

very educational and easy to follow.

The course is nice introduction to the study of dogs behaviour, with easy to follow lectures and exercises, after finishing you understand that dogs are smarter than we think.

great class, easy to follow A very enjoyable course which has provided me with further knowledge with regards to understanding our relationship with dogs.

Great course for those of us have dogs This course is interesting and easy to follow.

Super interesting and easy to follow!

The lecturer was articulate and easy to follow.

The course was excellent - it was easy to follow/excellent content and presentation and a new respect to scientists who work very hard in obtaining verifiable data, which can benefit others.

It was divided into clear parts that were short and thus easy to follow anytime during a quick break.

very good and easy to follow learnt a lot Great course, I learned a lot.

The material is presented in a way that's interesting and easy to follow, even though the ideas that the course covers are far from simple.

There is no need for this, because the course is on Dog EMOTION and COGNITION, not primate and human evolution.

I chose to take this course on Dog Emotion and Cognition as it reminds me of doing my volunteer work at Peace of Mind Dog Rescue.

Very accessible to everyone who wants to learn more about dog emotion and cognition One of the best dog courses I ever taken.

Very interesting course about past and current knowledge and studies on dog emotion and cognition.

"Dog Emotion and Cognition" by Dr. Brian Hare does not only present you with remarkable information on the subject, but also provide you with great insight that is crucial to understand human and animal psychology to begin with.

Wonderful introductory course to dog emotion and cognition.

Muy interesante para conocer más a fondo el aprendizaje y evolución del perro, e incluso de otros animales This course teaches you a lot about Dog Emotion and Cognition but also teaches you about the Cognition about other animals.

A superb course (and the accompanying book, The Genius of Dogs, and citizen science website, Dognition, are wonderful too).

I learned a lot and I really recommend both the course and the book (The Genius of Dogs)!

I loved this course, I read the Genius of Dogs and when I saw who the instructor was, I had to take it.

I may have gotten more out of this course if I hadn't already read "The Genius of Dogs".

Worth reading the book "Genius of Dogs".

I'm currently enrolled in school to become a Veterinary Assistant, and this course (along with Brian Hare & Vanessa Woods' "The Genius of Dogs," has been a wonderful learning experience.

I highly recommend investing in the optional reading material, "The Genius of Dogs" book.

It was very interesting, and I am now going to read The Genius of Dogs!

This course gives scientific insight on how dogs have become human's best friend and it leads to better understanding toward as well as relationship with dogs.

If you want to learn better your best friend, here you are.

This class gives me the option to learn about my best friend (my dog) and how to apply my learned skills to better his life.

This is a relatively easy course to complete, but I definitely enjoyed learning about dog cognition and how they have evolved over time to become man's best friend.

You'll understand your best friend better and your own evolution.

Just the tip of the iceberg but a great jumping off point to further understanding man's best friend.

I found many interesting insights into how dogs became man's best friend and into dog cognition.

Very interesting and with great information Excellent Information, Great Professor, and Superior Knowledge for a better understanding of Man's Best Friend.

It taught me how to better interact with and understand my furry best friends.

I can not describe how much I enjoyed and learned in this course, Dr. Hare makes the course very interesting, all the resources show us how we evolved and the understanding that our best friends developed with us.

Enthusiastic, informative, and awe of the animals we call our best friend.

I learnt a lot about dogs' behaviour.

Was great learnt a lot more than I expected and was a lot more detailed then what I expected as well.

!I studyied and learnt a lot!!

I have learnt a lot of new things about dog cognition.

I really loved the course.I learnt a lot of new things about my dog.The videos were short and sweet which is why it was easy to understand.

Does not tell you how to train your dogs but makes you understand the way dogs, human, great apes and other species think and solve problems which is very interesting.

Some of the information given was more about other species and I think that's what made it less gripping for me.

I just wish the course focused more on dogs Overall, I enjoyed this course, but it gave just a bit too much information on cognitive studies in other species, and it left me still wanting to learn more about dogs.

Great course to understand how dogs have become the species they are today and how they distinguish themselves from other species.

Making references to studies on apes, human children and a few other species, the course explores some of the cognition capabilities of dog compared to other animals and to us, with an interesting insight on domestication and self domestication.

Really liked the comparison with other species including humans.

Great course with a lot of new information, not just about dogs but even domestication of other species, including humans.

I really liked this course and the way it explains evolution and cognition for dog and how studying dogs made us understand many other things about evolution, about us, about other species and about what is domestication and the processes behind it.

This course doesn't focus solely on dogs, it has chapters where the focus is on other species (humans, primates, foxes, wolves etc), but that is done to help you understand how and why dogs' minds began to be studied and how important it was for our understandiong of many other things.

Dr Hare's enthusiasm for the subject is infectious and the material presented is more wide-ranging than I had anticipated -- again, adding to the experience.

Thanks Dr Hare, Duke and Coursera!

Thank you Dr Hare for the fun learning course.

Lucky you you came to the right place; Dr Hare will teach you all that.

Hats off to Dr Hare and his Team; love your dedication and professionalism and your enthusiasm to extend this information to the citizens of this world.

Dr Hare's lectures were well paced, informative and fun.

very interesting course it increased my knowledge on dog behavior, emotion and cognition, thanks dr Hare Excellent.

Would love a new course with more current data and information El Dr Hare sabe transmitir y explicar perfectamente todo su conocimiento.

I highly recommend it for anyone who would like to learn more about dogs and cognition.

I highly recommend it!

I am glad Duke University offers this course via Coursera.

I hope to be able to take more classes from Duke University.

Thank you very much Dr. Hare, Duke University and Coursera.

Thanks Again Mr. Hare, Duke University Estou gostando bastante do curso, tem muitas informações importantes que irão me auxiliar bastante no meu trabalho com cães.Eu só gostaria que tivesse esse curso também em forma de pós-graduação (especialização).Obrigada Duke University e Coursera por me darem essa bolsa e esse maravilhoso curso sobre os nossos queridos e amados cães!Deus abençoe todos vocês!

Would love more :-) Very interesting and always a great topic Curso estupendo, esencial para todo aquel que quiera dedicarse a los perros.

I love this course W Una visión comportamental distinta que ayuda a entender de qué manera aprenden los perros enmarcado en la "Teoría de la mente".

Yo no lo hice, tal vez lo haga más adelante, no lo sé; lo que si sé es que este curso me hizo aprender mucho sobre los perros y otras especies y despertó mi deseo de seguir conociendo más, creo que me ha dado una buena base :) It is an excellent course.

Un curso excelente para aprender más sobre los perros.

Y por supuesto; me declaro aún más enamorada de los perros, de su inteligencia en sus diferentes formas, de su compañía y de su bondad.

The citizen science material was also interesting.

The only possible drawback is that it keeps referencing this citizen science (a similar concept to crowd sourcing or open-source) program called Dognition.
