It's all about the tone and inflection of your voice. All dogs respond to positive and negative responses in every form (physical, audible, emotional, taste and sight). That's why it means a lot to train a dog vigilantly and not cause mixed signals. When a dog does something bad, make sure it knows it's bad. If it does something good, make sure it knows it did something good.What I'm saying: Do you want to go to the vet to get your nuts whacked? Do ya boy? Do ya?
What they hear: Do you want to go to the park and play? Do ya boy? Do ya?
You can't have your Crake and eat it too. *rimshot*
Having a talking dog would be like owning the Rosetta Stone for canine-kind. I would finally be able to understand what the hell my dog is barking at when he suddenly startles the shit out of me while we're watching TV. Also, a talking dog might be able to go to school and learn things. I think that is way more fun than X-Ray vision.
Finally we'll be able to understand each others needs.
Would be a PERFECT wingman as well if you are a bachelor/ette on the prowl.
