I don't know about dogs, but my cat responds much better to
nonverbal signals than verbal ones.
Of course, it took him about 12 years to start responding
to his name, so maybe it's an individual difference thing.
And then again, maybe it's just because he's feline
and doesn't often deign to acknowledge me at all. Except when I'm feeding
him.

Subject: RE: K9 linguistic conditioningThe actual words do matter, whatever the language. Generally, trainers use hand signals as well, so many well-trained dogs respond without any words at all. Your best bet is to talk to a basic obedience trainer.--Barbara

Subject: K9 linguistic conditioningis it true that if a dog is trained in French,it will only understand commands in French? How about if its new trainer only speaks English? I understand that it is not language per se that matters but tone and inflection.
Send me something.
