Your dog could be retarded, autistic, adhd, or have a learning disability. I'm sure the same problems that afflict the human mind likely occur in animals in some way.
Pet psychosis has even been documented and this can be linked to aggression.
But mental retardation if its the case is unlikely to present with aggression in a dog.
In any case, it's a dog. It doesn't have to go to school, get a job and work, or go to college. It doesn't have any real responsibilities, so it's nothing to worry about.
Ironically, if your dog is retarded she may be more evolved. Not saying its a superior model but that domestication has been documented to lead to reductions in an animals intelligence, because it doesn't need it since we take care of it and as all abilities use up energy natural selection gradually drops anything a species doesn't need.
well, we can not get her to learn not to go potty in the house . our other dogs learned to tell us they need to go out if they need to potty or they learned scratch at the door becuase they do not need to be inside . our other dogs tell us they need to go out or atleast wiat till we let them out to go potty . she also never listens to any of our commands and we trained her like the rest of our dogs and she is the only one not learning she does not listen to our commands and she barely listens when we call her name . She is a very very sweet dog but she does not listen at all . Our other dogs listen to most commands unless thier in a fight than its hard to break them up but we do not know why this dog will not listen to any rules , any commands , is impossible to train . We do not know what we have done wrong with this one .
Was that meant for me? If it was, ok then. Good. Thats what I wanted to hear. Thats where I was wrong then. Its my mistake. I'm sorry, Allistalla. I thought you were labeling. I'm sorry. I get riled up over things like this. I guess I just feel like whenever somebody puts a label on someone, the person hears of their label, and pretty much becomes their label. I don't want someone to live their life thinking they're incapable. I don't know. Maybe I'm in denial, but thats why this subject gets me worked up. I apologize, and I'm sorry for being such a bitch in my comments.
Is it normal we think we adopted a retarded dog ?
