Dogs love to hear what their owners have to say

Introduction

There's little doubt that dogs are man's best friend. (Well, woman's best friend, too?) But what makes dogs so special is that their feelings for humans run deep and go beyond basic friendship. Dogs love us unconditionally, and we love them. And now there's even more reason to love our furry friends—it turns out that they really do like listening to us talk, which can make for some pretty adorable conversations between people and their pets. So much research has been done on animal behavior in recent years, and it's all come together to reveal just how much your dog loves you:

Dogs love their humans, no matter what you sound like.

Dogs are social animals, pack animals. They love their humans, no matter what you sound like. Dogs are loyal, affectionate and smart. They can learn language and commands just like a toddler learning to talk or a child learning how to read—they are capable of learning words and commands under the right conditions.

Recent research has revealed that dogs pay close attention to how people talk, and can even distinguish between those who are mean and those who are nice.

A recent study has revealed that dogs are able to distinguish between people who are being kind and those who are not. The study also suggests that they can tell when a person is happy or angry, as well as if someone is sad or scared. In other words, dogs have a pretty good sense of empathy.

The research team led by Lauren B. Rosenberg from Barnard College in New York conducted their experiment with 36 family dogs and their owners across the United States. They divided the participants into three groups: one group consisted of only owners; another group consisted of owners and unfamiliar people; and the third group included only unfamiliar people. Each owner was instructed to direct either positive or negative comments at their dog while making eye contact with it for ten seconds before leaving the room for five minutes—and then come back again to repeat this routine two more times!

Dogs are likely to be more likely to respond to happy sounds than mad or fearful ones.

Dogs are likely to be more likely to respond to happy sounds than mad or fearful ones. Dogs can tell when someone is angry and they respond better to positive sounds than negative ones. So if you want your dog to come back with you, speak in a happy voice and not an angry one!

Dogs can tell when another person is being kind or mean.

Dogs are excellent at reading human body language. They can tell when you’re being kind, mean or happy. They also know when you’re sad, angry or fearful. This is because dogs have an amazing ability to read our emotions through our body language.

You may have noticed that your dog gets excited when you come home from work and they greet you with wagging tails and kisses! This is because they associate your presence with treats like biscuits or dog treats. Dogs also get excited if their owners are happy and smiling which means that they know how to recognize emotions in other people too!

Dog owners speak to their pets in a higher pitched voice than they do to other people.

When you talk to your dog, the pitch of your voice goes up. Why? It's because dogs have a higher hearing range than humans and are more sensitive to high-pitched sounds—especially when they're happy. So, if you want your dog to respond positively when you speak to them, it's best to use a happy-sounding voice rather than one that is angry or fearful.

As it turns out, dogs can tell when someone is being kind or mean—even if that person doesn't say anything at all! When a stranger approaches an unfamiliar dog using a friendly tone of voice and body language (such as smiling and making eye contact), most dogs will approach him or her with curiosity in order to investigate what's going on. But if this same stranger approaches another dog using an angry tone of voice and hostile body language (like pointing their finger at the innocent pup), then most likely he/she'll be chased away by his/her victim with teeth bared!

Dogs are capable of learning words.

It's easy to assume that words are only for humans, but dogs can learn them too. A recent study showed that dogs were capable of learning words by associating them with actions, objects or sounds. This means that if you'd like your dog to know what "sit" means, you can teach it by having them perform a sit when you say the word "sit." The same goes for other commands such as "stay" and even more complex ones like "come here."

If you have an untrained pup at home and are worried about teaching him how to obey commands, don't be—your dog will pick up on this stuff quickly!

One border collie named Rico knew the names and meanings of over 200 items.

If the name Rico rings a bell, it's because this border collie was born in the 1980s and was trained by his owner to learn 200 items in just a few years. If you're curious about how he pulled that off, here's what happened:

• First, Rico had to be taught the names and meanings of every object in his home (and then some) by his owner.

• Next, each time he interacted with an item—be it a toy or something else—his owner would verbally associate its name with the object itself. This is known as pairing word with object.

• Over time, Rico learned that any time someone said "ball," they were referring to this specific ball (or whatever else they might have been holding).

Dogs love listening to their people, even if they don't understand what they're saying all the time.

Dogs are very tuned in to their people’s voices, and can tell the difference between a happy voice and an angry one. They also sense when their owner is sad or scared — even if they don’t understand the words being spoken.

Dogs are highly sensitive to tone of voice: they know when you mean it when you say “come here,” or if you really want them to come running over with their tail wagging and ears perked up because they sense that something exciting might be happening soon.

Conclusion

And that’s not just because they want to hear their humans say their names. Dogs pay attention to the pitch, tone, and volume of human speech. They listen carefully when you speak lovingly to them or scold them for bad behavior. In fact, they are even able to distinguish between people with different personalities by paying close attention to how humans talk! For example, some dogs will respond more positively when spoken at a high pitch (as in baby talk) rather than low pitched voices (which might sound angry). This shows us just how much love these furry friends give back through nonverbal communication—all without even having language skills of their own!
