These days, watching Rohan when he’s not sick is a really great experience. With the scientific curiosity and the knowledge of dog behavior and how to train them it is highly interesting to watch Rohan play. At the age of 8 months, his motoric system is still in the development stage – sensor feedback is almost non-existent, which makes his movements very coarse (German: Grobmotoriker). Also he thinks in straight lines. He’s very careful to navigate the labyrinth of chairs under the breakfast table, knows to lower his head when crawling sideways under the chairs with a lower sidebar. If he can’t reach his toy in a straight line though, he rather gives up than searching for a non-direct route – just like dogs, he thinks in straight lines. On a different game he tried to reach a particular toy in his toy chest, that he could touch on the top surface, but couldn’t grab to lift it up. After having tried for five or six times to no avail, he pulled the whole box towards him in a 45 degree angle to have more range in the box and move the toy closer to him (it rolled inside the box). Then he continued with his previous and now successful strategy to lift it out of the box. You should have seen his face holding the toy up in the air looking at me! This was very touching.
