Study of head tilt in dogs

The new study is published in the journal Animal Cognition.

Scientists have noticed that those dogs that are able to memorize the names of objects and carry out different commands often bowed their heads.

So the dogs tilted their heads when they thought about what toy they were asked to take. Therefore, this means that dogs tilt their heads when thinking and remembering information.

However, there may be other reasons why dogs often bow their heads.
