Personally, I engage my dog in conversation. Yes, she does not speak english back but she watches me and I can tell she is thinking about what I say. If you watch her closely, and this just might be me and some wishful thinking, it appears that she forms opinions about what I am saying. She understands when I ask her things in full sentences such as "where did you put your tennis ball? Go find it" I never actually trained her to find anything. It proves that dogs do understand language.

I say goodnight to my dog every night :) Well I used to, I'm off at college now :(
And I ask him questions like "do you want to go outside" and I use full sentences when I talk to him too. His favourite one to ignore when he's comfortable laying in the living room is "let's go to bed."

You hit the nail on the head with sincerity, I find its almost like going into a zone and everything just flows along nice while your working together. Its really I guess like being 100% in that moment. Not rushing through routines to get to the next command, but just really being in that moment with a dog and learning together. JMO

How do I connect with a dog that goes nutz on the leash every time she sees a human or dog without training tools?? I'm thinking of getting the e-collar to redirect the dogs attention. I don't know what else to do

If we're comparing a dogs IQ to that of a 2 year old, then it's the same situation on the language. A two year old will think about what you're saying sure. However a word that it's never heard before or doesn't know the meaning of won't have the same effect as words it does know.. I believe this is the same with dogs. If you're using a word for the first time, how can you expect the dog to know what it means? I think by simply engaging in conversation with your dog you improve this very easily!
but freaking out can be completely sincere..like I tend to get excited when my puppies learn new things and when they do them when i ask them to and I am completely sincere i am doing it because im excited and because they impress me not just because you need to praise so I get where your coming from but I just think that not everyone who gets excited is insincere
