Improving the article

In order to improve the content of this article, I will go through research articles and credible websites in order to get information on the human-canine bond. I will look for basic overview information of the human-canine bond as well as psychologist's perspectives. When finished with this article, there will be an overview, background information, research information about the human-canine bond, psychologists' perspcetives on it, and examples of the human-canine bond. This will all be available as an effort to improve that class and information of this article. Eware1 (talk) 03:45, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

I have deleted the last sentence as it seems superfluous at best.-70.190.102.49 (talk) 05:36, 7 October 2017 (UTC)

You also removed sourced content. Montanabw^(talk) 20:58, 8 October 2017 (UTC)

I don't know why you keep removing my edits, and call them disruptive. Why is the human-canine relationship described as "mutually beneficial"? Are dogs special? The people of the "pet-keeping" West don't believe it themselves. Why do they torture dogs to death in laboratories as they do pigs and cattle on factory farms and slaughterhouses, if they believe it?

And "anthropomorphism" is not relevant here. It is not a field, only an idea. Anthrozoology, on the other hand, is a real field.

What is it that makes my edits POV and yours not?-70.190.102.49 (talk) 01:55, 10 October 2017 (UTC)

To improve the article, more content and information could be given on the theories of the human-canine bond. The theories are just listed and not explained and the article could be much more educational if these theories had more information/explanation along with the names. The reference section also has the same reference listed multiple times, just accessed on different days. Combining these references would fix the issue.

Original Research?

Is this it? I don't know enough about the subject to be sure. Looks like it to me though. Or at the very least, it's been written by a contributor with a book to push POV. Panyd^{The muffin is not subtle} 18:49, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

There's definitely some original research, but I think the current tags are sufficient to avoid "biting" people. It shares the focus of a section in dog, and needs work -- though I see potential for expansion as a split from the parent article, with a rename (Dogs as pets?) Anna ^talk 19:33, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

Sounds reasonable to me! Panyd^{The muffin is not subtle} 20:13, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

Blank and redirect

This article appears to have nothing on topic that is well-sourced; suggest blank and redirect to Human bonding#Human–animal bonding unless anybody's got any salvage ideas. Alexbrn (talk) 02:48, 10 October 2017 (UTC)

I'm ambivalent. It is adequately sourced, if not well-sourced. The dog thing is a pretty notable subset of the human-animal bond and I think suitable for a spin-off. I think that improving it is preferable to a merge. It's maybe worth pinging the psychology project to see if they have input. All that said, I have insufficient motivation or interest to be the one to improve it, personally. But I see no harm in keeping it around. Montanabw^(talk) 02:28, 16 October 2017 (UTC)

Which source(s) do you think adequate? So far as I can see they aren't about the "Human–canine bond". Alexbrn (talk) 05:40, 16 October 2017 (UTC)

Looks like another editor is working on it. I see no reason not to give him some time and see what he does with it. There is WP:NODEADLINE. Montanabw^(talk) 06:07, 16 October 2017 (UTC)

But what are these adequate sources? Genuine question - if there are sources here I would hesitate to blank & redirect. Alexbrn (talk) 06:14, 16 October 2017 (UTC)

There are five sources, they are adequate to explain what it is and cover the basics. Obviously more work is needed, but I am not the person who has the time to do it. You could actually do a little research and assist in improving the article if you wanted to. Montanabw^(talk) 06:36, 16 October 2017 (UTC)

I did do some "research", and my impression was the sources we are using aren't on topic ... which is why I am asking about your "adequately sourced" comment. Did you look at the sources and see something different to me? This matters. Alexbrn (talk) 08:55, 16 October 2017 (UTC)

The best solution is to improve sourcing then. Montanabw^(talk) 06:56, 22 October 2017 (UTC)

human-canine bond or relationship

Does a title change to human-canine relationship make sense? I think it would open up the article to more discussion on neutral or even negative types of relationships ShaveKongo (talk) 00:40, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
