Dogs Understand Language

My cat howls when I play my guitar.

 

Are you sure its the cat that is howling?

 

Ok...my dog knows these words:

Pizza - Knows someone will be at the door soon and waits for them....listens o their car.
Mum - Knows my mum will be home soon.
F--k it - Will hump things on command.
Hair Cut - Gets excited because he likes getting his hair cut.
Dog Lady - Knows someone is coming to the house to cut his hair...he hates that!
Outside - Likes going outside and runs to the door.
Bread, Cheese, chocolate, coffee - Knows each individual one and loves them. Will wait at different areas of the kitchen for each different item.
Bushes - Brand of his dog food, he knows what he's getting
Cat - Goes crazy and does a perimiter check of the yard for a cat.
Listen - Will stop...listen and look at me as if to say "Yeah I think I hear it"
Did you hear that - will start listening and growling.
Did you see it - Will look for something in the yard.
Its ok - Knows there is no danger and settles down.
You C-Bomb - Knows this is an insult and will growl.
You peice of S--t - As above.
Roll Over - Duh!
My face Is On The Gorund - Will roll over.
Ball - Will get his ball.
Come to bed? - Picks up something and trots to the bedroom.
Do you want some? - Knows he is about to be given some food.


I think thats about it.

 

First of all, wow! you spend some great quality time with yout dog. But do you really give your dog chocolate? I know they love it but a small amount is lethal to them.

 

Cats understand. They just don't care.

One day, we're going to find out that animals get a lot more than we think they do and it's going to feel totally creepy.

 

Yeah mate I know and Im very carefull how much he gets.

For instance I'll give him maybe a half square of chocolate at a time. You can also get special dog chocolate (No Im not a Freak, I saw it once while shopping and it was cheap so I got some for my dog!).

When it comes to cheese he'll get one slice. Thats pretty good for a dog in small doses though.

Coffee....he drinks what ever anyone else wont drink (and thats not much).

As for bread....he asks for it! He'll go into the kitchen and bark at the bread untill he gets some!



And here is a tip for everyone. Dont teach your dog all these words!

There is nothing worse then the last few minutes of a tied football game being interupted because the dog wants some bloody cheese!

 

Bowlingual to the rescue!

 

Now, if you could only train that dog as well as he's trained you....

 

I don't know what to think about this, but it's interesting nonetheless.

All of my dogs know 'outside', so occasionally, we'll ask if they want to go outside. Zeke will go to the backdoor and raise hell, like he has to get outside this minute or he'll die. But really, all he's doing is getting us to open the door, because once we do, the other two dogs run outside almost 98% of the time. He just trots away all prancy like because he's got the family to himself while the other two are outside.... Isn't that just crazy?

 

my shih tzu understands...

'you wanna eat?'
'tiger' (toy)
'outside'
'pee'
'no'
'bad'
'good boy'
'lets play'

basic stuff...

 

My dachsunds and Lab understand:
Where's Lizzie (my daughter) They will go to the correct room and track down the correct person.
Where's Preston (my son)
Where's Momma
Where's Papa
Backyard
Dinner time (that's easy.... )
Frontyard
Get in the house
Get in the truck
Kennel
Ball
Bone
Sit
Shake
Heel
Speak

 

But the experiments were in German, right? Is there any scientific evidence that dogs understand English ?

 

Maybe Smarty only understands German -- that would explain a lot!
