So basically it changes the balance in a destabilizing way.

So that was the biggest effect, having angry voices on these dogs.

And keep in mind, those dogs were still standing completely still.

So you couldn't tell from just looking at them what's actually going on, but we could measure that with the pressure mat.

And the similar things happened actually to the happy voices, which is quite surprising because why would happy voices have our dogs off balance?

Exactly.

And I think that's the really interesting thing about this because that's the first study.

It's an exploratory study and it actually raised more questions than it gave us, I have to say.

I assume so.

So we know from human medicine that there are certain voices, certain sounds that affect our balance, but it can be both ways.

What happens with dogs is because they can tell and they can also respond to social signals and a human voice and also a human picture is some sort of a social signal for them.

So what I think what is happening and that's also explaining why we have some dogs that are off the balance while other dogs are...

improving their balance.

I think that this has something to do with a strategy with an individual strategy of each dog.

I do believe that it has to do with individual sensitivity.

So what has this dog learned?

What are his prior life experiences?

So does this differ?

It is some sort of an anticipatory strategy.

For example, if I hear a happy voice as a dog and I know whenever I hear a happy voice, my owner is coming over and fetch a toy or something else.
