Dogs actually understand what you're saying, study shows 

My dog agrees: that dude's v-neck was way too low cut.

Anyone who has a dog and is close to their dog already knows this on a personal level

I always knew this. My dog and I have had entire conversation in which she responds with huffs and understands abstract concepts such as waiting for her food to cook.

When I talk to my dog like he's a person he sits there calmly and I notice he starts to listen attentively, almost like someone who nods at things you say, as if they're really listening to you

OHHHH so this is how my dogs understands me when I say "wanna go for a walk?" and they get all excited

that guys v neck tho

i talk to my dog like hes my homie.. i use slang and everything.. i also speak to him in both spanish and english.. is he confused or does he actually get me?

What every dog owner knows. They absolutely understand a lot lot more than we were told to believe. For thought, we've been living with dogs for thousands of years. If you don't believe they have adapted to understand our intent then you're naive

My dog understands a lot we always get into arguments lmao 🤣

I knew the answer was both. I've rescued and trained dogs; my hypothesis was based on observation. But it's important that the study was done. Dogs respond to words and intonation. For instance, if you murmured lovingly to your dog, "Bad dog, why are you such a bad dog?" The dog would know you weren't mad at him. They have the capacity to understand and evaluate your intent. It was interesting to learn that they process words in one hemisphere of the brain and intonation in the other hemisphere, just like we do. BTW, cats understand words, intonation and hand commands too. I took umbrage with that one recent study that was done (don't recall by whom) that claimed dogs loved us more than cats do. That study was invalid. They played with dogs and cats and then took MRIs of their brains afterwards. But we don't bond with cats with play-not to the extent that dogs do. Cats bond to us when we speak softly and affectionately to them and interact with them, while taking our cues from the cat. Whoever did that study didn't know that much about cats. Cats love us just as much as dogs do. My cats were much more outwardly affectionate with me than my dogs were-they'd follow me from room to room, demand to be cuddled, and they'd come when I called their name. I had one intelligent cat that was amazingly bonded to me. He responded to verbal and hand commands. I hadn't set out to teach him commands, but since I invariably used the same commands with him, he learned what I wanted. He obeyed easily too.

Dogs are very smart and the unconditional love they give is amazing! I have a chihuahua named Tommy who is an extremely lovable an intelligent little guy. : )

all animals understand a lot more than we think.

This is true. Before we got a dog I never understood. Our dog was adopted at 7 years old and we are a Japanese family. She understands both English and Japanese but she pretends to not understand the commands. I know she understands what we're saying but she won't do it unless we give her a treat! (For example, my mom tells here in Japanese "No treats unless you finish dinner" and she starts eating the rest of her dinner.😆

They understand more than what humans explain in words. They can read our emotions on a much deeper level than humans. They constantly know what we mean by our body language alone.

I agree Mostly cause my dog barks at me when I talk and raise my tone it’s almost as if he’s talking back

2:47 Whoa, wtf.

Dogs also have a language, and you can learn it. But I found people have given their dogs buttons so they can have an English voice. Now that's cool! I want to do that if I get a dog.

My dog has always understood what I'm telling him and I can always understand what he's telling me by reading his body and eye expressions along with his body movements he also knows what I'm getting ready to do also without saying a word to him dogs 🐕 are more INTELLIGENT SMARTER ABS AND ALSO HAVE EMOTIONS AND FEELINGS LIKE WE DO

the dog on 3:07 is saying "please put me out of my misery"

They definitely do understand like when i tell my dogs if they wanna go for a walk they go nuts, or if they’re hungry, and when i say Mami is here they absolutely lose it and wait for her by the door just cry barking

This is fascinating!

That guys blue V neck was deeper than then the Grand Canyon🤣👀

Before giving my dog a treat, I used to say “sit”, “paw” and then “no” in which she looked away, followed by “ok!” In which she took the treat. However, sometimes I would test her by saying the “no” in the happy tone I’d say “ok” with, and she wouldn’t take it because she understood the difference! RIP Ruby ❤

Yeah me and my dog talk to each other a lot we usually like talking about the socioeconomic crisis Uruguay. Usually he comes up with theories on how to fix it

*My dog knows ALL the words, she has the best words! She’s more smarter then some of the most smartest dogs out there. You can ask anyone, people tell her all the time, you might not know that.*

I was talking to my dad once about him getting a bigger dog to protect the backyard. As soon as my dad said this, our chiweenie stood up and howled. Me and my dad were thinking, "what the heck?" Our chiweenie never howls at all. He only barks, and he never barks inside unless he thinks someones there. And if he does bark, he runs towards the noise. This time, all he did was stand there after howling, then laid back down in a frustrated way. With my other dog who passed, we would discuss kicking him outside to go to sleep. Everytime we did and if he heard, he would run over to my mom (she spoiled him the most) and lay next to her. He wouldn't even bother to look at us when we'd say his name. He also had the most nervous look on his face.

Awesome study... I am sure with repitition they start to associate word with action and start understanding the concept of the word

Dog owners who spend time with their dog and talk in complete sentences instead of orders know that dogs can understand sentences. For example, I used to always tell my dog to give me a kiss, Give me the chicken (Toy) give me (Multiple different named toys).... She also would play hide and seek with my son Xander. Xander would hide, and then I would say find Xander. We would also Hide toys. One day, I was about to give her a treat. And instead of saying "give me a kiss" ... I said "Give Xander a kiss" and I only had to say it once, and she went over and licked my sons cheek. Darn smart dog.

I am surprised you realized now.. I always see dogs giving appropriate responses to what you say.. If the response is appropriate, it means they understood what you said..right?

It’s literally them learning language. Just hearing certain sounds and being shown what they mean.

I had a dog advert before this video started lol

I'll sometimes just start talking to our animals about my day and random stuff just because someone is there to talk to, but I always wondered how much of it they understand lol.

Yup. When I call her name in a pitch voice she understands I demand her to come. If my voice is more neutral she might even ignore it sometimes.

One thing I noticed is, for dogs, they "took notes", like when you bamboozle them two or three times with the exact same prank, exact same jokes, like hiding the food under three bowls trick, they can guess it correctly. 🤔 so yeah, maybe they do understand.

About time someone noticed!!!

Dogs can sense when someone is a bad or good person. Your dog may not know the moral decisions a person has made, but he can pick up on signs of nervousness, fear, anger, and danger. We have covered a Video on a Research Made to understand if Dogs can sense if a Person is Good or Bad. Do Check Out : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-z7-hT86C6os.html

I have a saint bernard and a newfoundland , these dogs are like humans

They do talk to us!

Dammit, this makes me miss my favorite dog friend so much more... 😭 She was such a good listener and always had the most sympathetic demeanor. I was devastated when my mother got rid of her thinking it was okay. (Don't worry, Mom made up for it in other ways.)

i let my dogs out in the garden for 5 mins to go bathroom they seem to understand the word "in" when i want them to come back in the house they also understand "get back" when im about to open the front door to a postman or someone knocking on the door.

I think huskeys understand the most

Yeah my dog speaks English, French, German, And Spanish 👍🏼

I knew this a long time ago! I love my furbabies!

Yes much like verbal commands dogs understand what certain noises made by you mean in practice.

Exactly! Most dog owners already knew this.

I have a dog named scruffy (Pomeranian/Maltese) I keep asking him to sit and he just tilts his head

dude i always thought this. i always wondered how my dog can understand the difference in "no" and "go" when i say it

That's pawesome! My dog understands me when I ask him if he wants to go out in the garden! :D

im gonna tell my dog to do fang over fang soon

U got me Looking crazy telling my dog to bark if she understands me

YEEEEESSSS! MY SOUL NEEDED TO HEAR THIS!

Dog owners: "yeah, we know"

They understand everything but, "Don't eat my shoes."

I always knew that this was true, years ago and I didn't need to scan my dogs head for this. Dogs are truely our real life fur angel's.

My dog even understands some hand movements lol. We use it when like someone in our house is sleeping

I told my buddies 10 year old golden retriever that there was a secret chicken sandwich in the carport that I put there behind a bunch of 2x4's. He went right to it and had a good snack. I mean I hid it well but he completely understood that there was a chicken sandwich in the carport.

They answer to the tone and sounds of us humans

I've noticed that the language is specific for the humans the dog is around most. Like, a new human isn't going to know your dog's body language, just like you're dog isn't going to know the new humans, hence why everyone thinks there dog is special. This is going to sound dumb, but I think dogs are evolving to understand specific human language, behaviours, and tones. Like, most dogs are exposed to the high pitch praises and coos from the second they're born. So of course it's going to become part of they're language. And every dog has it's own personality and stuff. It's amazing when you think about it, and how people can just call animals dumb and stuff. Like, they just don't have the right setup to talk back. But they can bork!

I have conversations with my dog out I'm she's not much of a conversationalist but she's a great listener

Dogs are with us about 1000 years. They are our back up and last hope.

If a dog knows it's name it knows what your saying

This is very very true

Next: Dogs can speak every language ever invented by default, they just like to keep it a secret.

Of course they understand ❤️

I would guess my Ruby Doo probably knows at least 500 words.

I'mm not lying, the small curly whitish blond dog at 1:33 looks identical to my dog Lucy. Twin Lucy, hello! I think we found a dog from Lucy's litter...

That is awesome 👍

Everytime i complain about some stuff in my life to my dog, he is looking at me as if he trying really hard to understand what i say, he reads the emotion, put he really wants to know why i feel certain way...now if you excuse me i go to hug my dog now

Dogs understand where I point. It’s a superpower I developed at X-Men School

We needed a scientific study to learn something we have known for generations. WTF!

My cat meows to me and I always tell her sorry that I don't understand her. Lol

Wait, so they understand the things I say to my waif in the bedroom?

Love is a verb

So, basically they understand emotions than words

My dog just told me your v cut is too deep

"Josh !..."

“Used dogs that learned how to sit still for 7 minutes” So you would get the dogs with high intelligence naturally, also golden retrievers and border collies are usually smarter then most dogs. This can only be said about certain dogs.

Every time I say bathe my dog hides and nothing can convince her to come out

And my dad says dogs can’t understand what we’re saying-wrong!XD

They are smarter than we think.

The dog at 3.07 looks like dobby

Ole v neck has seen one up close.

5000 years with us

Hmm, when it’s 3 in the morning and my jumps in my bed and I say “get down” nicely he doesn’t. But when I’m half asleep and yell “get down” he does

*dogs understand english* erin: tHatS nOT vEgAN

I would say wait instead of sit, are you happy instead of good boy, good boy when he doesn't anything I told him to do and for doing something I told him to do a previous day. I noticed my dog Definitely understoody body language. Anytime I said good boy, I would pet, him get myself excited because I would be, look him in the eyes. He loved it. He was so happy!! I messed up when I didn't put him on a leash walking him. 😔

Well what do I do whenever my dog that is just a puppy but it’s very ginormous jumps on me but not knowing that they’re hurting me any stinking that they’re playing with me

Not the rescue brown lab I got lmao

Hey, hey. I never said they listened too.

Im not surprised at all ❤ most animals are smarter than we give them credit for 😊 but im a dog lover for sure and my dog definitely understands what i say to him ❤

That dude has the deepest v neck shirt 🤣

I wonder if cats are capable of the same thing? Or do cats just not care enough....

no need any silly MRI, you can literally look into their eyes and you know the dogs understood what you're saying dog is the only animal that give off such eye contact to respond back at you

It was the blurst of times !!??

I told my dog to yawn if he knew what I was saying and he yawned then he wagged his tail at me, so then I waited a couple minutes and told him to yawn again if he could understand and he yawned. So then I went and got my mom and told her he knew what I was saying, she didn’t believe me than I told her to watch and I told him to yawn again if he understood me and he did. I never taught him how to yawn or the word yawn.

I figured dogs new with people was talking about when my dog bit a hole through my new socks and I fussed at him he went and hid under the bed and looked ashamed of himself

I always wonder how much dogs understand. Sometimes i talk to my dog wondering how much they understand

just ask your dog "wanna go for a walk?" and see what happens. they start going crazy cuz they know exactly what it is you're saying

Damn! I hope my dog don't tell about the peanut butter!

One word “treats”
