We believe that all the animal lovers out there would agree that there’s nothing better than sharing life with our furry, feathered, or scaly companions. Especially when they bring so much laughter and cuteness into our world. From a guilty-looking dog to a moose caught on camera stealing popcorn, they surely enrich our routines.
To deepen our understanding of animals, Bored Panda reached out to Janet Cutler, Ph.D., a Certified Applied Animal Behaviorist (CAAB) and a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA). J. Cutler consults with pet owners to help them improve their relationship with their companions and is an instructor at the Ontario Veterinary College and a host and author of “The Behaviory” podcast and blog.

Ever been curious about what drives someone to become an animal behaviorist? Janet Cutler generously opened up about her fascinating journey. She told Bored Panda that she has always been really interested in animals and their behavior. “I assumed I would have a career in veterinary medicine,” the animal behaviorist shared. “While in University, I discovered that people could study, research and work in behavior exclusively. I had a dog who had behavior problems, which led me to working with people and their dog and cat behavior problems. I love that behavior is never the same, it involves work with both people and animals, as well as the use of science and creativity.”
*whispers* 'tell him our demands' 'why don't you go and tell him our f*****g demands, a*****e?'
Our furry, feathered or scaly friends have coexisted with us since the emergence of mankind. Thinking about our fascination with the intricate world of animals and our deep-rooted connections with them, we came to a question: what is the role of animal behaviorists in promoting animal welfare and fostering stronger human-animal relationships? According to Cutler, certified applied animal behaviorists work in a wide variety of careers, “from helping people with pet behavior problems, to work in zoos and shelters, teaching, research in behavior, and more.” She continued that “oftentimes when pets have behavior problems, it can not only affect their welfare but also the bond between them and their people. Working on the behavior problem allows people to spend focused attention on their pet, can help improve the reason for the behavior in the first place (for example, reducing fear) and also help decrease frustration or concern for pet owners.”
From playful pets to majestic wildlife, animals have always captivated our hearts and minds. Yet, there's more to our fascination than meets the eye. There is a deep bond that connects us, drawing us towards unraveling the mysterious behaviors of animals. But why do we need to understand them in the first place? Cutler told us that we can understand a lot about how our animals are feeling based on their behavior. “Behavior changes are usually one of the first signs that an animal is sick or in pain. We can also start to understand if an animal is fearful, concerned, or content based on their behavior. Their behavior can give us important information on how to best meet their needs and ensure they are living a good life.”
Cough cough. All of a sudden I'm sick and need Eddie to come comfort me
Have you ever noticed how we often view animals through the lens of human traits and stereotypes? It's quite common to assign labels like "greedy" to magpies because of their fascination with shiny objects. Cats are often seen as distant and dogs as goofy and playful. But have you ever wondered how this tendency to humanize animals affects our understanding of their behavior? According to Cutler, “people do often perceive animals through a lens influenced by our own characteristics and stereotypes. Some of the time this can be helpful and allow us to make sure that animals are well-cared for and have elements of positive welfare in their lives. Where this becomes a problem is if we assume that animals perceive our world and the things we do, and respond in a way similar to humans or with the same emotions. For example, sometimes people will assume a dog or cat is doing something out of spite when they are likely performing the behavior for other reasons. When looking at behavior in animals, it’s important to look at the environment and what is going on before and after the behavior, the body language of the animal, while keeping in mind their previous experiences; and use all of that to assess their behavior.”

A national parks director said that animal-proof trash cans are difficult to design because "there is significant overlap between the smartest bears and the dumbest tourists"
In spring and summer, one of the trees near the house hosts a family of birds who are always fussing at each other at about 3 in the morning. If the A/C is on, we don’t hear it. But if it’s nice enough to open the windows, it’s loud enough to wake the dead. Of course, we’re pretty powerless to stop them. I’m thinking they probably have some family member who stays out late and comes home drunk on spicy bugs or something, and that’s when the family drama takes off. So they’ve got enough problems already. They don’t need us coming along and trying to evict them. So we just deal with it.
Blue jays and cardinals scream. Usually at 6 A.M. You're looking out the window to see who's being murdered, then you feel like doing a little murdering yourself!
I just snorted my tea Karen! 😂 Those f*****g Blue jays like to dive bomb the stray cats that live in my backyard. I swear to god that they have a deathwish or are suicidal.

Bird conversations revolve around territory, sex, and food. Not much different than most of human conversations.
I'm looking for trouble. If I cannot find it - I will create it. Those stupid humans will think I'm singing and put food in that rediculous looking bird house
I can't remember which comedian did this joke, but it's still funny. How badly would people look at you if you just stood in the middle of a crowd and shouted, "Hey, anybody wanna f**k?" at the top of your lungs? Birds do it all day long and it's perfectly acceptable for them.
