Hi Josney, Claire and all!! Josney, dogs seems to understand not exactly a language, but the owner's expressions and feelings. They seem to me as they are more sensitive than many humans. When you say something in a rude tone of voice, the dog will understand that as you didn't like something they just did and later, they'll relate that action as a bad behavior and if you do that many other times, you'll have them trained for them not to do that bad behavior again. And the opposite is true, when you praise them for something good they did, they will be trained to do that again to be praised.
In fact, dogs are really very smart. Claire, I get impressed when I see a homeless living a poor life and even having just a little food to eat, they split the food and share with the dog. It's really moving.
