Videos of animals cowering always make me uncomfortable. I always assume they cower because they have been physically punished. I have no idea if this is true but makes me think of what a child does when they are physically disciplined/abused.

Without need for physical punishment, my dog knows she's in trouble when I point at something and growl "WHAT IS THIS?!?!".

Similarly, she cowers when I say "Time for a bath".

She knows what she doesn't like, and she knows when we're not happy, and the typical pack submission routine of cowering or flopping down, refusing to make eye contact, is somewhat similar to shame in humans.
