Haptic as a means of interspecific communication between dog (Canis lupus familiaris) and human
Jurásková, Karolína ; Santariová, Milena (advisor) ; Štěrbová, Zuzana (referee)
Even though haptics is an integral constituent of the intraspecific communication between man and dog, it is studied in lesser extent to its sibling disciplines. This paper consolidates existing findings about means of tactile communication man and dog demonstrate when engaged in reciprocal sharing of information. The complexity of intraspecific communication between these two species is quite unique and mostly enabled by the evolutionary processes of domestication, which in effect made dogs more adapt to understanding human signalling more tightly than what is the case for other primates. Given how the dog and the man use haptics withing the bounds of intraspecific communication, the relationship evolved beyond it and towards the realm of relational interactions. Let us then, characterize the individual types of signals and their meanings. Tactile signals find their use in both the everyday life and during a training by a professional. Touch can be used as negative and positive reinforcement. It can be stressful to the dog if perceived negatively or calming if perceived positively. Relaxational effects of tactile contact is also used by a form of rehabilitation called animal assisted therapy. Given the variability of haptic stimuli, both acting species can manifest a plethora of...
