You Can’t Train Your Dog to Understand English

A lot of people don’t realize how smart dogs are. They pay more attention to the tone you use rather than the words you speak. They are not capable of understanding words alone.

Now we will probably get a ton of notes from people talking about their dog’s ability to understand nearly all the words they speak.

The English language is not understood by dogs.

This doesn’t mean that dogs don’t learn the meaning of words; they do. Many dogs develop quite a large vocabulary of different words that they understand. However, they learn these words as signals, not words.

This is valuable, so don’t overlook it.

It may not seem very important but this, in fact, points out the gap between the human and canine brains.

Dogs hear words - dogs don’t recognize sentences or phrases.

Dogs ears hear sound with breaks in it, but it doesn’t make much sense to them. They pay more attention to the things that interest them - like eating and playing outside - and not focusing on anything more.

They understand the character of your voice.

It’s simple. They hear different levels of voice better because it is how they correspond with one another. Dogs interact by both sound and signal.

It’s the difference between a friendly growl and a warning growl.

It is important to pay attention to the tone of your voice when training your dog. If your words are foreign to him, he will not pay attention. He will only listen to the character of your voice to determine if you are upset with him or not.

If your tone is negative, your dog will hear that and take it to heart. If you give him a negative tone, he will feel like you are upset with him (even if you want to reward him).

Control the way you speak to your dog if you want to have control over him.
