Say "banana" to your dog
Say "banana" to your dog and watch the head 🍌 Then say its name. What happened?
Say "banana" to your dog and watch the head 🍌 Then say its name. What happened? Inside the brain: the left side handles words, the right side reads your tone, and the reward center only fires when both say "good dog." A brand-new word like "banana" makes the brain work harder, but it has no meaning yet.
