What if you let your dog make more choices? 🤔🐾 Recent research shows that autonomy also matters in animals. In 2016, a study from Emory University’s Dog Project, titled “Awake fMRI reveals brain regions for dog responses to human hand signals”, showed that dogs don’t just obey commands — they also activate brain areas related to decision-making 🧠⚖.
Researchers found that dogs had clear and consistent preferences ✅. This means they’re not just reacting automatically — they have their own ideas and interests 🤓🐶. Giving dogs the chance to decide can boost their confidence and emotional well-being 💪🐾.
Imagine letting your dog choose the walking route 🐶, or which friend to greet at the park 🏞🐕. That autonomy, when rewarded positively, leads to happier, more fulfilled dogs 😊🎈.
This is where Churpi comes in 🧀💚. By rewarding your dog after a good decision, you’re reinforcing independence and happiness 🐶🌟. Because dogs, just like us, deserve the right to choose 🗳🐾.
