Yes and no... Here's my anecdotal evidence. N = 3.
I simultaneously use words (English), tone of voice, and hand signals in directing my dogs. When I switch to Spanish words (plus tone/hand signals) they do pretty well but not as well as in English. I had a student who had two dogs, one trained in English, the other German, so he could give them individual commands from a difference. -Lenore Frigo -----Original Message----- From: michael sylvester [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 30, 2006 12:24 PM To: Teaching in the Psychological Sciences Subject: K9 linguistic conditioning is 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.
