I know we've been trained as humans that dogs do not remember what they've done wrong, and not to punish after the face. I would still hold on to that, because we're still speaking a foreign language and there are misunderstandings, no matter how hard we try. Mom speaks their language completely, and there may be a small thing she does, like an odor, a sound, etc. that makes them understand after the fact that we could not duplicate.
I think that's a very valid point.

It sounds very interesting D. And it sound like you're getting a very enriched experience with these pups. Watching dogs interact with eachother is wonderful but like Novel said, we probably have to take a little different approach in our training because we cannot hope to duplicate their language nearly close enough to what they communicate to eachother. We can incorporate what we do observe into our interactions with them, but we cannot emulate it that well.
