Dogs’ production of referential communicative signals, i.e., showing, has gained increasing scientific interest over the last years. In this paper, we investigate whether shared information about the present and the past affects success and form of dog–human interactions. Second, in the context of showing, owners have always been treated as passive receivers of the dog’s signals. Therefore, we examined whether the owner’s behavior can influence the success and form of their dog’s showing behavior. To address these questions, we employed a hidden-object task with knowledgeable dogs and naïve owners. Shared information about the present was varied via the spatial set-up, i.e., position of hiding places, within dog–owner pairs, with two conditions requiring either high or low precision in indicating the target location. Order of conditions varied between pairs, representing differences in shared knowledge about the past (communication history). Results do not support an effect of communication history on either success or showing effort. In contrast, the spatial set-up was found to affect success and choice of showing strategies. However, dogs did not adjust their showing effort according to different spatial set-ups. Our results suggest that the latter could be due to the owner’s influence. Owner behavior generally increased the effort of their dog’s showing behavior which was stronger in the set-up requiring low showing precision. Moreover, our results suggest that owners could influence their dog’s showing accuracy (and thereby success) which, however, tended to be obstructive.

共享信息和主人行为对犬只展示的影响(似犬)。

狗产生参照性交流信号,即显示在过去的几年中,它已经获得了越来越多的科学兴趣。在本文中,我们调查了有关当前和过去的共享信息是否会影响狗与人互动的成功和形式。其次,在展示的背景下,主人总是被视为狗的信号的被动接收者。因此,我们检查了主人的行为是否会影响其狗出场行为的成功和形式。为了解决这些问题,我们对知识渊博的狗和幼稚的主人进行了一项隐藏对象的任务。关于当前的共享信息通过空间设置(即狗主人对内藏身位置的位置)的变化而变化,有两个条件需要高精度或低精度来指示目标位置。成对条件的顺序各不相同,代表关于过去的共享知识(交流历史)的差异。结果不支持交流历史对成功或努力的影响。相反,发现空间设置会影响成功和展示策略的选择。但是,狗并没有根据不同的空间设置来调整他们的展示力。我们的结果表明,后者可能是由于所有者的影响。主人的行为通常会增加其狗的表现行为的努力,这在要求低表现精度的设置中会更强。此外,我们的研究结果表明,主人可能会影响其狗的展示准确性(从而成功),但是这往往会造成阻碍。相反,发现空间设置会影响成功和展示策略的选择。但是,狗并没有根据不同的空间设置来调整他们的展示力。我们的结果表明,后者可能是由于所有者的影响。主人的行为通常会增加其狗的表现行为的努力,这在要求低表现精度的设置中会更强。此外,我们的结果表明,主人可能会影响其狗的显示准确性(从而影响成功率),但是这往往会造成阻碍。相反,发现空间设置会影响成功和展示策略的选择。但是,狗并没有根据不同的空间设置来调整他们的展示力。我们的结果表明,后者可能是由于所有者的影响。主人的行为通常会增加其狗的表现行为的努力,这在要求低表现精度的设置中会更强。此外,我们的研究结果表明,主人可能会影响其狗的展示准确性(从而成功),但是这往往会造成阻碍。主人的行为通常会增加其狗的表现行为的努力,这在要求低表现精度的设置中会更强。此外,我们的结果表明,主人可能会影响其狗的显示准确性(从而影响成功率),但是这往往会造成阻碍。主人的行为通常会增加其狗的表现行为的努力,这在要求低表现精度的设置中会更强。此外,我们的研究结果表明,主人可能会影响其狗的展示准确性(从而成功),但是这往往会造成阻碍。
