  • I think dogs understand far more than we imagine, including reading our body language better than even we can. My dog easily learned to understand short words I spelled. To canines, our speech is like learning a foreign language (but actually, of a completely different species) yet how easily they learn! So in that sense, they may be smarter than a five-year-old child.

  • My Jack Ruussell `Cukulat` understand English, but more understand the syntax i think. My voice, tone etc.

  • my australian shepard Snow was more like a ten year old. but i talk to animals and read body language ^_^

  • @DngerousRadical You aren't supposed to yell at your dog. It will make him nervous and afraid of you. What works best is to speak to them in a firm voice.

  • MY dog understands when i tell him to get off the sofa, doesn't mean he wants to though. So when i tell him twice and yell, he understands i mean business and gets off as he pufs air out his snout.

  • Once I learned my dog did actually understand English, things got much easier. Even if she didn't fully understand what I was saying, she understood enough.

  • @TheGrimm93 could you be any more annoying

  • My chihuahua understands spanish better that english. But he still understands both languages. :)

  • theres alot better pet you could get if you want a pet that listens to you and understands you!!!! :O!!!! A PIG!!!! it have been tested! pigs learn 5 times faster than a dog

  • I know my dog knows simple sentances because i use many commands with him that start with "do you want" aka "do you want to go outside?" "Do you want a drink?" "do you want to eat?" and some other. He will come in the room and stare at me, i will say "What do you want" he will then spin in cirles kinda saying "yes i want something" I will then start going through the list. "Do you want to eat, do you want to go outside" untill he finally barks letting me know that he wants whatever i just said.
