a dog mom to 10 year old harvey is joining us from texas hi marissa well i'm
2
so glad to be here
3
so yes um i am the lucky mom to harvey he will be 10 later this year harvey
4
and i actually met
5
10 years ago but i'm quite positive we were family in a past life i just know it um we met
6
We met in San Diego,
7
back when I lived in California.
8
I was volunteering for a foster organization.
9
I was his foster mother.
10
And as the story goes,
11
of course, I meet him.
12
And I know instantly that I've known him for many times.
13
You're his person.
14
Oh, yeah.
15
He is my person.
16
So, yes, I was a foster win,
17
as I like to call it.
18
So Harvey and I have now spent the last nine years traveling the United States together.
19
We've lived in California.
20
We lived for a little bit in Minneapolis.
21
We were in Chicago for four years.
22
And now we're down here in Dallas, Texas.
23
So I swear he has more airline miles than most people do.
24
But it's been really fun to just travel this country with him and kind of explore with him.
25
But my question for you.
26
So we've been together a long time.
27
And whenever I get ready to leave or head out the door,
28
Harvey seems to do the same thing.
29
So whether I'm going out to the mailbox for a minute
30
or maybe I'm going for some errands that I'm running for the day,
31
Harvey will get anxious.
32
So my question for you is more of the concept of time.
33
So do dogs understand the concept of time?
34
Does he understand that when I'm gone for five minutes or the full day,
35
does he know how long I've been gone?
36
Because it seems like either way,
37
it has the same emotional impact on him.
38
When he sees me getting ready to leave out the door,
39
he seems to get that same emotional reaction.
40
So I'm curious just what he's thinking about as I'm getting ready to leave out the door.
41
Great observation.
42
You know, the flip side of that attachment we were talking about is that in separation,
43
dogs are stressed.
44
They're anxious.
45
Right.
46
And that's part of the bond.
47
Actually, it's the kind of negative side of the bond,
48
which is that when you're attached to someone,
49
you don't want to see them go.
50
And when you're gone, they're stressed.
51
And when you're gone, there's some stress involved.
52
Probably why Sadie perked up when you returned.
53
Right.
54
There's the relief of that.
55
And it is a really cool question to say,
56
well, does that mean they don't have a sense of how long you're gone?
57
And there actually was research that looked at this question.
58
What they did was they looked at the greeting behavior that you get when you come back in the door, right?
59
That great, enthusiastic reply.
60
And they had people leave their dogs for a few minutes or a half an hour or several hours.
61
And they looked at the intensity of the greeting.
62
And they found that the longer the people were gone,
63
the more tail wagging, licking,
64
shaking, intense a greeting they got.
65
So dogs in their behavior look like they do appreciate the distance,
66
the time you've been gone from them.
67
And in that way, they're kind of marking time.
68
Yeah, it's definitely different, even though they're whatever,
69
excited every time you come back in the door.
70
Yeah, I noticed this with Sadie that,
71
especially when she was really well,
72
that if you're gone for a few minutes,
73
I remember coming and saying,
74
look, I've only been gone for a few minutes and you're this excited.
75
But if you're gone for a long time,
76
she would like go around in circles and bark and do all the things.
77
Pull out all the stuff.
78
Pull out all the stuff.
79
The toys.
80
Yes.
81
Run and get a toy and all that.
82
He wants to run and go grab something and bring it back to me and show me right when I get back.
83
Yeah.
84
Yeah.
85
I also think they mark time through smell, right?
86
Smells change over time.
87
And our spaces smell like us, right?
88
The longer you're gone, everybody has a smell.
89
It's a perfectly normal thing.
90
And our dogs know it.
91
They'll recognize us by our smell alone.
92
The longer you're gone, the less your space smells of you being there.
93
So time is kind of marked in the passage of odor during the day.
94
Everything is, when you read this book,
95
Marissa, everything is through the nose.
96
Everything is about the smell.
97
I mean, because it's how they see the world, right?
98
They see the world through their nose.
99
Yeah.
100
And that's how their brain works, olfactory cognition.
101
Yeah.
102
Thank you, Marissa.
103
Thank you.
104
Best to your pump.
105
You and Harvey, 10 years together.
106
That's beautiful.
107
So you believe that trying to show your dog that you're the boss can be harmful.
108
And we know that there are lots of trainers who do that,
109
you know, like I'm the one in charge.
110
Why do you not condone that?
111
Well, again, I look at the science,
112
you know, people are looking at wolf behavior to try to explain how you should be with your dog.
113
And there's very old science that said,
114
oh, when you look at wolves in a captive environment,
115
they establish a dominance hierarchy and their leaders are alphas who have access to all the resource.
116
But then when people could actually study how wolves behave naturally in the wild,
117
it turned out they live in family packs and there are leaders of the group.
118
It's the parents who live with their offspring and their offspring's offspring.
119
And so they're not maintaining their leadership by force, by being bossy.
120
They're not bullying, right?
121
They just know more.
122
And so they tend to be in charge.
123
And we are also in that kind of situation.
124
Dogs are our family.
125
They view us as parents, essentially, in that pack.
126
And we control all aspects of their life already, right?
127
We don't need to worry that they're going to try to threaten our leadership
128
and boss them or bully them around for it.
129
I notice that sometimes your dog knows
130
that you're coming even before the car pulls up or if the car's in the driveway,
131
or we've seen these stories on social media of the dog waiting in the window for the kids to come home,
132
or the dog knows that the school bus is coming long before the school bus comes.
133
How do they know that?
134
Are they smelling it, or are they just know it's this time of day?
135
I think both things are true, right?
136
Again, they're great.
137
They understand our habits.
138
So if we create a habit,
139
they learn that perfectly right away.
140
That's how you can train a dog, just by creating relationships.
141
That's how Pavlov trained the dogs.
142
That's right, right?
143
Like they learn association.
144
So if you come and go at the same time every day,
145
they know when that time is and they're ready for you.
146
And if you feed them at the same time every day.
147
They know that as well, right?
148
Even if we don't think we're doing it,
149
the dog will show up ready to be fed.
150
Yeah.
151
But also I do think the smells of the room change over the course of the day
152
and they're attuned to that just like it gets dark outside and we notice that the day is ending, right?
153
It's a totally normal thing for us to notice.
154
They're also noticing the day in odors.
155
I think this is so interesting because,
156
you know, for years we were told that your dog doesn't know the difference between five minutes or five hours.
157
So what you were saying to Marissa really changes all that.
158
That your dog isn't saying,
159
oh, well, 7.07, or it's been 25 minutes or it's been an hour.
160
Right.
161
That's a human concept.
162
That's a human concept.
163
Yeah.
164
They do know the difference between it's been five hours or it's been five minutes or it's been five days.
165
That's right.
166
They do.
167
They feel that and they're noting all those changes of the day as we'd expect, right?
168
And when you're not there, they're stressed.
169
Yeah, it's stressful to be apart, right?
170
But they also can calm from that stress.
171
For some dogs, it's more stressful than others.
172
I had a dog, Sophie,
173
who just literally, I couldn't leave her anywhere.
174
She had such anxiety.
175
She's like howling in the hotel rooms.
176
It's like an insecure attachment, right?
177
Yes.
178
But with a dog who has a secure attachment,
179
when you come, they call.
180
I always say that one of the great joys of my life has been my dogs.
181
So I am deeply committed to their well-being,
182
just like our friends at the Farmer's Dog.
183
From my golden retrievers to my cocker spaniels,
184
I've had 21 dogs over the years.
185
They remind me to slow down,
186
to be present, and to appreciate the small comforts in life.
187
The Farmer's Dog makes human-grade food for our dogs with real ingredients and minimal processing.
188
To all my fellow dog lovers,
189
you know our beloved companions give us so much,
190
and that is why The Farmer's Dog helps us do our best for them.

練習のコツ
シャドーイングを実践する際は、動画のスピードとトーンに注目し、自分の声を模倣することが重要です。初めはゆっくりとしたペースで練習し、次第に速度を上げていくと良いでしょう。特に、話者が感情を込めている部分では、自分もその感情を表現するよう心掛けてください。動画の内容を理解しながら、shadow speechを行うことで、英語の自然なリズムとイントネーションを身につけることができます。また、YouTubeで英語学習の利点を活用し、何度でも繰り返し観ることができるので、自分のペースで練習することが可能です。継続的な練習は、効果的なshadow speakにつながり、最終的には流暢さが向上します。
シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
