Do your dogs know what you are saying?

Of course they do. In fact I don't even talk to them. They are telepathic creatures. They read your mind. I have got a female German Shepherd and four pups. The pups can't read my mind of course, but their mom does. In fact we have been good friends for a long time. I express my sorrows and hapiness and she seems to understand them all.

I agree with you. Our pets can be very smart and understand our words and feelings. I have 3 manx cats. They are without tails. I have Miss Kitty Kat, shes the mama of the other two. Missy Sissy Kat and Bubba Kat. I couldnt resist giving them a last name. If all of them are in the same room and i call out one of their names the one a called will look at me. They know words "here", "no","stop it". For some reason they respond better to "stop it" than to "no". If i get after Kitty about something she will go slap which ever of the others are nearby. They seem to know other things im telling them too. When they are doing something they know they are not supposed to do and they hear me coming they run away. They have figured out how to open closet doors and drawers and all kinds of things. I given up trying to keep closets cat free. The harder i try to put a stop to some things the harder they persist. All except going outside. They are strictly inside cats. I kiss them all the time too. Miss Kitty kisses me too. She licks my cheek. They are all my babies.

My dogs perfectly understand what I say, even when I say something for the first time. My 10 years old dog is brilliant and always was, she can sense words and body language in seconds...

I do believe they understand us. My dog is very smart. She has a toy rope that she plays with and when I tell her to go and get her rope she runs and gets it. or when I am letting them outside to do their business I will tell her go find baby (my other dog) and she will go through the house until she finds her. I think my dog is smarter then most dogs but of course i'm partial to my baby. :-D lol.

I think dogs to understand our moods and emotions better than assumed theycan. Except my dog because she is dumb. She is a sweetheart but she does not understand a lot of stuff most dogs do haha. Dogs are very smart and loyal animals though I agree.

I'm sure that they have the same emotions and intellegent as we human's.they do know who is their friend or enemy.also can express their own feelings by barking.

I am glad that you have such a great bond with your dog. I am a cat person actually, however I do think that dogs have a very keen sence of person. And can communicate with their owners in nonverbal ways. I have had a few dogs that I was very close to. One I had when I was young, another when I was graduating high school and one 4 years back. They all were super protective and thinking about it to this day, the earlier 2 out of the 3 were good judge of characters since they hated my boyfriends. Had I taken their que I would have saved 2 heartaches. And the last one I had was so protective of the family and was unsocialized so she didnt like anyone that was not family. I actually had to take her to have her put down and that was one of the very worst things I have had to do. I think she knew when we pulled up to the vet, she did not want to get out of the car and I will never forget the look she had. I dont try to think of it often since I really loved that dog, and still love her memories. She was a pitbull and hated the man across the street since he came over and yelled at me. Now seeing Ceasar Mulan I really wish I could have gotten him to come and help me with her, but I had no way of training her not to be agressive. So yeah, took a pretty long side journey. But yes I am sure that they know somehow.

I know they do...I was taught at a young age that dogs can communicate well through pictures/thoughts (at least that we can communicate with them...). A few weeks ago, I was not home and my brother was working on the house. I got a call that "Nela" (a very 'bull-in-a-china-shop' 1/2 pitbull, 1/2 ridgeback who runs aimlessly away if she gets out...and is VERY hard to catch) got out and he didn't know where she was. I told my daughter that we needed to send Nela a picture of her running in through the front door of the house (she never has before...she has to be dragged back). about 30 seconds later, my brother said "OMG, she just ran in the front door!!! So, yes, I believe they do know and I am quite sure that she got the message :)

Aw! I've noticed animals have always been sensitive to our emotions and help us out when we need it. But my sisters' dog, Roxy, pure bred cocker spaniel, when it's bed time, and you say, "Roxy, go get your baby." She'll run to her toy box, get her ty beanie baby which is ALSO a cocker spaniel, and take it to her bed....well, sometimes "mommy and daddy's" bed lol. Our mom taught her that when she was watching her for 2 weeks. Oh that dog is just funny!

Dogs respond to humans by voice and by emotions. They r very much like kids in every way. They learn your moods and body language 1st. Then they learn what u r saying usually the hard way just like kids. When u r crying, nervous, sad, happy or even frightened they pick up on that very fast. If u don't like someone they pick that up faster than humans, then grawl act nervous, ancious and sometimesgo crazy.. REMEMBER LUV YOUR PET/DOG, THEY WILL ALWAYS LUV U..

Hi mermaid...Not only do I think dogs can understand what you're saying I believe certain cats can also. I know that my cat completely understands everything I tell him. While he is not a good guard of the house - I think he would be scared instead of scaring the intruder - he is a good pet and is patient with the baby.

You have such a wonderful dog! :) I think dogs does know what we are saying and is pretty much aware on what's happening around him. Like our dog whenever she hears someone from any of my family screams she immediately runs towards where she thinks we are and makes sure that we're ok. Also when our phone is ringing and there's no one to answer it, she'll run around the house and look for someone to answer it. So, yeah dogs are really mans best friend :)

Our dog is not smart I don't have a patience to teach her a tricks. Our dog is female we named here Daniele. She has a breed I think she is a japanese dog. She is now old, she's been in our house for 13 years now. We are happy that she still strong at her age right now. Although she is not smart but she is a good guarddog.

I'm suprised at how much my dogs comprehend and understand. They know the words time out and crate for when they misbehave and they know the names of their different toys. The three of them even know the word "hungry" cause they know that it means it's feeding time. (For that one, I can say for certain it isn't tone of voice. If anyone in our home says "hungry" in conversation, all the dogs jump up and run to the kitchen) So I know they at least understand the words and commands that are used regularly.

My three dogs all understand what I am saying. They are so smart they also can tell what time it is and read my body language!!!

Yes I truely do believe that our pets understand when we say certain things, maybe it is because they have heard it so many times and know just what to do. But they also sense when something is wrong, like you said when you cried he came to you and layed on you and kissed you, kind of like telling you he is here for you.i have a dog that Ihave had for like 9 years, and when that day comes that he is no longer with us, I dont't know what I will do, it will be losing a part of the family.

I surely think they know what I am saying, I guess they depend on the sound of our voice. When I shouted "sit down" my dog will sit, when I shouted "go to your place" they will follow. A while ago, my dog kept on following me, I was about to go to work in that time and I said to her "wait for me I will go home at seven" she stopped following me and stay in the door.When I turned around to see if she was following me, she's not but she keep on following with her look and look sad. I just waved goodbye and she moved her tail as a response. I love my dog very much.

I don't think Moochie understands what i am saying except when i am mad at him. He won't even go near me everytime i call his name. He's just too stubborn. Despite that, we still enjoy eachother's company though. lol! He brings joy at home and he is everybody's favorite at home. Sometimes i would talk to him up close but he would just look at me with a blank face. lol! Sometimes he would look away.

I think they know our moods, because when we're sad they cheer us up and when we need companion, although they can't talk I think they listen..but not like us humans that they really understand us well..and when we're mad they know it for sure.

I think dogs just respond base on the sound they hear and expression that they say.
