In 1991, Pamela Smart's (PS) parents first noticed that her dog, Jaytee, seemed to anticipate her return, apparently waiting for her at the window, beginning around the time she was setting off to come home. In May 1994, PS and her parents began to keep notes on her journeys and Jaytee's reactions. In this video we describe the results of 96 such sets of observations made between May 1994 and February 1995, on which she went up to 51 kms away from home. Jaytee reacted 10 minutes or more in advance of PS's return on 82 occasions, and showed no anticipatory reaction on 14. There was a highly significant correlation between the time at which the dog reacted and the time at which PS set off homewards. Jaytee's reactions did not seem to be attenuated by PS's distance. In some additional experiments, his reactions occurred on 4 out of 5 occasions when PS travelled by unfamiliar means, for example in taxis. He also reacted on 4 out of 4 occasions when she set off home at randomly selected times. In one of these experiments, both Jaytee's reactions and PS's movements were recorded on videotape, and showed that the dog reacted 11 seconds after PS was told to go home at a randomly selected time previously unknown to her. The evidence suggests that Jaytee's reactions depended on an influence from his owner detected by the dog in a manner currently unknown to science.

This exact thing happened every night with my dog on my return home from work. My mother noticed that my dog would go sit by the front door, whimper slightly and not move from that spot until I walked in about 10 minutes later. I did not catch the same train home each evening. My mother also noticed that during the time that my dog was ‘stationed’ at the door, he would not look at my mother, or acknowledge her in any way, even though my mother and the dog had be best buddies all during the day up to the moment he went and sat by the door. He was a special little dog - I really loved him 🐕. Thanks for posting.
my dog did this excat same thing he always went to the door 5-10minutes before my mother came home also it couldnt be a routine since my mom never came back at the same time he usually came home using a bike
My grandfather who was born in 1932 told me about one of the dogs his family had when he was a child. My great grandfather had to walk nearly a mile to catch a ride to work and each morning their little dog would walk with him. The dog also would be there when my great grandfather would return home. My grandfather stated to this day he still has no idea how the dog knew when to leave to walk to where my great grandfather would arrive in order to meet him. It didn’t matter if my great grandfather was running early or late, their dog would always know when to go and sit for him to get home. I cannot wait to show this to my grandpa. As of now he says “It is was the damnedest thing, I could never figure how she knew when to go meet him!” 😊
These are fantastic experiments! This reminds me of a time about 15 years ago when a neighbor asked me to watch their cat for a couple of days while they moved to a new house about 5 minutes away. The cat had never been at our house and was very displeased about the arrangement. He hid in the basement for the two days, coming out randomly to eat and use the litter box - mostly at night when we were asleep. I wasn't certain of the exact time they were going to come by and pick up their cat, only that the cat would be with us for about two days while they completed their move. Without warning on the afternoon of the second day, the cat suddenly appeared upstairs and sat at the living room window. Soon after, our neighbor arrived to pick up their cat. The cat had emerged at about the exact time his owner would have left their new house to make the 5 minute drive to come pick him up. I have always been baffled and astounded by that event!
Decades ago, I read Dr. Sheldrake's book about this phenomena; my own dogs and one of my horses displayed similar but more excitable behaviour when I was returning from trips.
We're only beginning to scratch the surface of consciousness, it seems.

I had a dog called Oso that always knew when my father was coming back from work, around 10 or 15 minutes before. He also knew when I was coming back from any place, at any time, no matter what mean of transportation. He would go to the front and start barking around 15 minutes after my arrival. God how I miss that doggy
My dog *always* knows when it is time for supper. 😂
I had an Akita who did this. She was most definitely telepathic.
My soul still has a hole in it after she died.
How do you know your Akita was telepathic? How did you rule out all other explanations?
You can be sure that she is still around although not in her physical body......
@@dakotalake9084 Why do you believe that?
@@deanmartin1111 For one thing, I have experienced it myself.
I have a cat that will alert me to impending, ongoing Medical issues, the need to take medication, or other, to avoid them. A life saver, and a blessing. Yet I have to fight to keep her Therapeutic Need status because she isn't a dog?
Animals are extremely intuitive, buy few recognize it, or how valuable they are.
Humans being more advanced due to spoken language? I have to question that idea. JMO!
It's all in your head.
Your negativity wont work. We love and trust our animals more than you.
@@MyLittleMagneton I had a therapy pup who would go sit by the nursing home patients who would die within a day; this occurred dozens of times over the years we worked there together. A resident cat at the facility did the same thing after my dog passed. Even the physicians there knew that animal intuition is legit albeit unpredictable; it is hubris to insist otherwise.
My cat used to run out from her hiding place as I turned into the far end of my road. She clearly knew the sound of my car’s engine compared to others (it had a worn camshaft). As I drove past my house to turn the car around at the far end, I’d stop to let her jump in and she’d head straight for the top of the back seat and claw it! One day I came back to find her staring at me from inside a parked stranger’s car. She clearly got this one wrong and had jumped in a car that wasn’t mine, unbeknown to the owner! I had to leave a message on the windscreen to remind the driver not to drive off with my cat. Can you imagine their surprise to find my cat in their locked car!!
I know that phenomenon is eliminated here (familiar engine noise) but I just wanted to share my wonderful cat’s story with you all. There are more.
I have no doubt whatsoever that the dog has an "energetic" connection to the women. My bird had a favorite snack food. The problem is that it was rarely available from the pet store. Only 1 out of 5 or 6 visits would it be available. But somehow, that bird KNEW when I had purchased it even when I did my best hide any reaction to the fact that I had bought it. I even left it in the car, unopened, and she knew. ONLY When I bought it, would she fly over and wait in the window for me to come inside. Otherwise she could care less if I got hit by a city bus. She would stay in the back room on her main perch near her cage. When I bought it and came in, she would fly over, and crawl all over me checking all of my top and side pockets for the snacks. First I thought it was a superior sense of smell until I realized I did not even have to come inside for her to get excited about it. WTH?? I finally had to admit that somehow she was reading my mind. She just KNEW. I was so depressed when she died last year. Birds are so amazing.
I´m sorry for your loss. i'm happy you two shared a great bond like that, have a great day.
Thank you for sharing, that’s absolutely amazing! Im very sorry that your feathered friend is no longer with you.
I'm so sorry that your sweet bird passed away. I've had birds too, in addition to cats, dogs and horses, and birds were next level love in a way. They were so smart and all had different personalities.
Hope it's ok to suggest you get another, only because the majority I've had have been very affectionate.... and were definitely that way with the men in my life.
🐦💙💫🤗
In any case, blessings and extra angels of comfort your way.
This is nuts. My dog will bark up to 5 minutes before my wife gets home. I always know she is gonna be home within five minutes because her schnauser is at the door barking. Is there any more on this? How do dogs do this? It cannot be smell...my wife drives a fast German SUV and is miles downwind when Pickle starts barking...also she returns at irregular times...how is it possible??
If you watched the video, you know it is not smell, nor noise, it is telepathy....
@@dakotalake9084 There's no evidence that it's telepathy.
@@deanmartin1111 OK, what do you think it is then?
@@deanmartin1111 we know
They need to do this about fifty times. When dogs know you're coming home from work, the can smell how long you're gone. What I could never figure out was how my dog would know when I was just thinking about going for a walk. Hadn't even started getting ready to go yet.
missanna208802 Interspecies communication?
They claimed to have done over 100 videotaped experiments, the article is available online. www.researchgate.net/publication/237233330_A_Dog_That_Seems_to_Know_When_His_Owner_Is_Coming_Home_Videotaped_Experiments_and_Observations
"When dogs know you're coming home from work, the can smell how long you're gone." Good job they allowed for this and chosen random times and random vehicles during the returns home.
There were indeed hundreds of randomised experiments.
Great man. Brilliant mind....
This is amazing. Thanks for the video
Jaytee’s lovely!
My cat would be waiting at the top of my driveway, no matter what time I got home.
I heard it has something to do with the decay of the sent of the owner.
Hi everyone. Comments are now enabled for this video... say hello!
This is insanely intriguing, has any other further experiment been done? With other dogs?
Yes: czcams.com/video/yr3IK0EryqM/video.html
" Dr. Sheldake has been able to verify this phenomenon in more than two hundred cases."
From the book:The Hidden Messages in Water
by Masaru Emoto
Dr. Sheldrake's book on the subject goes into much greater detail. ("Dogs Who Know When Their Owners Are Coming Home, etc") It's very readable with updated editions available.
Some dogs have a higher awareness of things -- even psychically. My bet is that this dog would also be easy to train. Anyway, this used to happen with a dog we had who would know when my dad was coming home. However, I should point out that not all dogs are this sensitive or particularly care.
I had a cat who did the exact same thing.
Here from the latest JRE podcast
cute dog
I start to think that love, or the effect of spending a lot of time together, somehow may entagle some neurons or some particles in certain neurons, which cause similar feeling in both beings. That wouldn't even be so far out scientifically.
Dr. Sheldrake is correct!
Maybe the dog was just picking up on the scent of the owner? 🤷♂️
hello
I mean….it didn’t need this much research lol. There’s a blind and deaf dog who knows when their owner is a block away
Having gone to all this effort, why wasn’t the experiment repeated? One condition of efficacy is repeatability is it not? I’m not doubting the content but I’d like to see it repeated before I buy into it. As it stands, it raises more questions than answers.
How many times does it take for you to believe? there are thousands of pet owners who have the same experiences all over the world.
@@dakotalake9084
and millions of people think the earth is flat.
and billions trust the ceo of pfizer etc
This was just for the TV show. It's based on Rupert Sheldrake's experiements repeated some 200 times. See the book by Dr. Sheldrake: "Dogs That Know When Their Owners Are Coming Home"
i was taking a trip to ramsbottom last night
Interesting experiment but heavily flawed. Hinges on the ignorance of the fact that correlation does not imply causation. Consider alternative explanations before overgeneralizing about magical telepathic communication being the source of adorable Jaytee's behavior.
Read the article and point out the flaws. The experiment was not just this video.
What are the flaws? how about reconsidering your beliefs?
He wrote a book on it, Dogs That Know When Their Owners Are Coming Home (1999), did over 100 experiments on this dog and others, trying different tactics each time and keeping things random and unpredictable. If you have a better explanation I'm sure we'd all love to hear it.
@@FablestoneSeries I read Rupert Sheldrake's book and saw several videos. J. Sonn has no clue.
Not everything that defies physicalism is 'magical'. If anything, physicalism is the appeal to magic here, for it alleges that consciousness allegedly arises out of abstract physical quantities and offers no conceivable mechanism.
My dog's dead
If you look into Wiseman's study into this experiment you can clearly see this is a flawed experiment.
mmm => if you are so into studies then you might explain all the real life experiences like hundred of unexplained files of people who commited suicide after getting an organ tranceplant from a person who died from suicide !!!
not only that but they did it in the same exact way !!!
those people who got there organs from people who jumped from a building , bridge ,drowning , gun or used pills did it in the exact same way !!!
there is more then meets the eye !
there is also a cat that was left behind from a familly that traveled a few Thousand kilometers and the cat found them a few monts later => explain that !
science can't explain it , maybe you are smarter ;-)
Care to enlighten us?
Oh you mean this: czcams.com/video/DkrLJhBC3X4/video.html
Wiseman is a committed skeptic. It's hard to see things anew when you're mind is made up before the experiment begins.
Would you care to point out the flaws?
If you come home from work everyday at the same time the dog will learn that...
If you take your dog outside everyday at 9am for example, the dog will learn that at 9am he is going outside...
Just like people dogs are creatures of habit.
But that was ruled out in this situation.
The time of departure and vehicles were randomised and all tests videoed. On this dog alone the tests were repeated 100 times.
Totally wrong.!!
The point of this video is that the owner came home at different times and using different modes of transport..so routine had nothing to do with it......or perhaps you were watching another video 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Actually watching the video might have saved you the time it took to make such incorrect assumptions.
Germans.
I believe they are Austrian.
So?
@@savedfaves Yes, by the ORF, Austrian state television.
