Take a look at the image below which shows the colour spectrum that we can see compared to what dogs can see!
So - dogs can see blue and yellow, and any other colour is just a different shade of grey.
Knowing this, we can use this to our advantage:
- When out on a walk, wearing a blue or yellow coat will make you stand out of the crowd.
- Having a blue or yelow blanket or mat will help your dog to target that specific spot as theirspace, rather than using any blanket to lie on (if you wanted them to lie on a specific mat/blanket)
- If you're playing ball games, having a blue or yellow ball would stand out on the grass compared to a gree ball
Can you think of other ways that we can use blue and yellow to our advantage?
