I hadn't really noticed it, untill the missus pointed out that i have a 20 minute one way conversation with the dog each morning

is this normal, does anyone else do this?

 

Obviously it's normal to talk to the dog but to attempt to converse with a dog suggests you may need some support from close family.



Good luck and remember, people are only ever a phone call away.

all the time,if i feel he is not paying attention i tape a biscuit to my head

 

I used to talk too my old dog, she actually said 'hello' to me one day allthough my family insist she was just yawning

 

lol

 

yeh used to talk to the dog all the time, now i've got 2 cats and talk to them alot too

i find im talking to the parrot alot now

 

I'm always chatting to my dog........... but, then that probably cause I live on my own

 

I regularly talk to my 2 cats if that helps. Although it worries me that only one of them sits and listens, the other just wonders off, looking most dis-interested.

 

yep - not like they pay attention to what im telling them though

 

I used to talk to my dog but then one day she left and divorced me

 

 

a bit like me then, when i get up in the morning the dog is the only one awake, so you have to ask him, if he is ok, if he had slept well, what would he like for breakfast, where my shoes are etc

 

hahahaha lol

 

you get more sense out of the dog

 

i talk to mine, ask him if he has had a good day in the garden, ask him how many burglers he has chased off then usually moan about something or someone and ask his opinion on it

 

he doesn't actually reply Tony

 

although he does seem to understand the word "chicken"

 

Bunch of wierdo's!!!

I talk to my hamster though she's awesome.

 

I talk to my dog and she tilts her head if she's intrested LOL

 

that's what I'd call a result

 

I talk to my dog and more importantly he talks back. We've got two dogs but only one will communicate back to us. The other is usually bringing up the rear

 

"dinner"

 

I talk to my 2 cats......they robably havent got a clue wtf I'm going on about until I say 'food' and then they seem to get interested all of a sudden!!!

 

LOL its funny when they do that, ours goes from side to side if you say "walkies" or "wanna go to the woods"

 

Used to always talk to my dog, never understood what she was saying as I would be drying my ear from her licking it

 

i talk to my dog all the time

 

iv allways talked to our dog & my partners Cat

 

was that before or after the dog had licked it's own arse lol

 

I always talk to our cats, one of them responds as if she is actually having a conversation! LOL! Timing of her "meows" and various other noises is perfectly timed in the conversation usually!!

 

all the time

 

Both

 

I talk to my cats, our baby, the cossie all the time.......lol...

 

Of course I do, it's just good for the dog, talking to dog makes him or her happy, even if he or she does not have a clue about what you're saying.

Sometimes it feels like our dog has learned all her social skills from us humans, and so she is socially inept with other dogs.

Many times when she has something to say us (like I wanna go out now) or something, she doesn't bark like normal dogs do, it actually sounds like she's trying to imitate human talk, quite entertaining to hear that.

Usually when I talk to her I just talk a load of bullshit, but she likes to listen. But she clearly understands when I'm saying her that I'm gonna let her go out or something.

 

Its the deep romantic passionate convos thats are worrying


Yes, when I had a dog, I used to talk to her... Really good listener

 

All the time. They listen to me rather unlike the mrs who just walks off!

 

Women who'd have um lol
do you walk off when the mrs talks to you or daren't you

 

yeah talk to my doggie all the time,no harm,like said b4,makes them happy

 

One of my friends refuses to talk to his dog in case it confuses it and it forgets the commands he's taught it...

...on the flip side...

...I ask my dog loads of questions and chat away to it. The most obscure thing I've ever asked Bailey is if he used to be a pirate because his ears picked up at the word 'pirate' once.

He responds well to:

Carrot
Lettuce
DentaStix
Pee'n'Poo
....are you wanting to go to the beach?
....are you wanting your tea?




Cheers,

I think people that know me would expect me to say yes – but I don’t talk to or negotiate with my dog the only English he knows is ‘sit, down, stand, heel, finish, stay, wait, out, off, leave, good boy and fetch’
If I talk to him, he’d be well confused cos usually I’m telling him to do something

I think he knows a few swear words now, cos he looks at me funny when I nearly crash the land rover, as if to say that was close

 

RS Grant got there before me - directing my voice at him is usually for a command

my brothers dog goes crazy when you say my dad's name, Mark - but i think this is for 2 reasons.. it sounds like park and he usually ends up walking it
