Great course with a lot of new information, not just about dogs but even domestication of other species, including humans. The predictability of aggression in humans would be an interesting next topic

I learned valuable information about dogs. I can better understand the thought processes of my own dogs. I really like that the lecture slides were provided after the lectures, so I could review them.

Very interesting and brings up a lot of data and research... sometimes too much. I would've enjoyed some more recent research rather than the very heavily history based bits.

This course is excellent and well taught. You will learn fascinating facts about how dogs think, the importance of social skills as a dimension of cognition, and much more

For anyone that has lived with a dog, much of this content will be common knowledge. The value is the scientific and technical studies done to validate those assumptions.

Quite basic knowledge of dogs and honestly very little new. But at least in was not boring and so fun to keep watchin! I wish I could have more deep study for this cost.

I love the content of this course, I love how enthusiastic Dr. Hare is, I love dogs, and I love Duke. However, I feel the quiz questions could be increased in difficulty.

this is really a good course to learn about dog behaviors especially in the aspect of cognition, BTW this course helps us understanding behaviors of other animal as well.

i did enjoy the course. i thought it would be more about the dogs 'language' rather than evolution but it was very interesting and i have found out few new things.

Wonderful logical explanation of the new dog cognition theory. I'm excited to see how this knowledge & research will affect dog training in the future.

Great course from Dr. Hare. I really learned a lot and feel like i'm better empowered to understand how dogs think and help connect with them better.

I feel the information could be reduced in half because sometimes it has to many details. But the content is pretty interesting and easy to understand.

The course was informative and enjoyable. I would have given it 5 stars if a free certificate of accomplishment were issued as in other courses.

A good course to have an in-depth view about the past and present of man's best friend. Bit scientific at start but gradually becomes gripping.

El curso es excelente en contenido y abordaje. Opté por la forma subtitulada en español, pero los exámenes aun no cuentan con posibilidad.

Very interesting and easy to follow. Wish we could have gotten more in depth, but certainly very informational for being a free course!

Good information, but the videos were a bit... weird. I'd stick to a regular powerpoint with a voice over, rather than having a person.
