Some things like that certain animals like dogs don't learn/plan by imagination never made sense to me. When I want to teach a dog something, I treat him like a problem-solving agent. I pose the task as a solveable problem to him, like "touch stick to get food", and he will "compute" the necessary actions to touch the stick. Also they always said dogs/animals don't do impulse control, while dogs clearly display a range of that trait.
