Analysis

PROBLEMS/ SOLUTIONS

PROBLEMS: When I was timing my dog, I was only using the minutes hand and not the seconds hand.

SOLUTIONS: I stared using the seconds hand on the watch.

PROBLEMS: When I put the food down and rang the bell, I was not having my dog start in the same spot in the house.

SOLUTIONS: every day I started putting him by the washing machine before I got the food and rang the bell.

PROBLEMS: When I started the experiment, often the dog would not come.  I just wrote a big number instead of waiting for him.

SOLUTIONS: The dog learned after awhile and when he started to come I did not have to just write a big number,

PROBLEMS: I only tested one dog.

SOLUTIONS: Next time I will test 20 different kinds of dogs and dogs of different ages.

PROBLEMS: At the beginning I was not ringing the bell at the same time for my dog.

SOLUTION: Later I started doing the experiment at the same time everyday.

DID I TEACH MY DOG TO COME WHEN I RANG A BELL?

I did teach my dog to come when I rang a bell because I rang the bell for one week without food and he came.

COULD I TEACH EVERY DOG IN THE WORLD USING THIS SAME METHOD?

I think I can teach every dog because they are smart and they like to eat.  I of course am not sure, but I think I could.

WHAT CAN I DO WITH MY DOG NOW THAT HE HAS LEARNED THIS TRICK?  WHY IS THIS VALUABLE?

I could teach my dog different tricks so he can know other stuff and have fun with him.
