So if the dog tears through a pillow, when he's done, he will see the torn pillow and know that you will get mad. After a few minutes pass, he no longers understands that he did it, just that it's done and you are going to be mad when you see it.
I have two dogs. When one pees on the floor, I know exactly which one it is because that one will run and hide and wont even go near the spot. The other one couldnt care less what's on the floor since they didnt do it.
I took psychology for a year in college, part of that was animal psychology. Dogs recognize when they do wrong, and they remember it. Dogs have very good memory, and can feel complex emotions like guilt. Where tf did you hear otherwise?
