No. That's no different to walking in to train carriage and speaking in binary code to people. It means nothing.

If anything, it's likely to stress the animal. Remember that holiday to Morocco when that barman came up and started jabbering his mother tongue in your face ? Pointing at you ? Wanting to stroke your hair ? Yeah. It's like that. Didn't feel too good did it ?

Unless you are training a dog for a service-based task, idle chit-chat and babyisms means nothing to them.

This is really all that they understand. They can relate certain words with certain actions but tone of voice is the main thing to let them know if they are doing the right or wrong thing. I can confirm that they don't understand English

Yes, the tone does. Just not the content.

For example, you can admonish with harsh words an animal (perhaps it did a whoopsie on the carpet) in a very soothing, calming tone. I guarantee it will pick up on the tone, not the content, because they don't understand the words.

You know people aren't saying hello because they think the dog understands hello. (Some will understand) Its just a friendly thing to do if you want to fuss it. Dogs understand tone of voice. If you come up to a dog and and sing song hello. You're going to get a very different reaction than if you went up to a dog and shouted hello angrily. But they might understand it on the other hand. Dogs do understand a huge amount of words. Not just sit.

As for stress. No. It's not more likely to cause stress. They love fusses. Most dogs are already clocking potential dog lovers. They watch, if they make eye contact, the tail starts wagging. They pull on the lead to go to you. Most people can tell a dog that is stressed. So wouldn't approach. Plus they'll be with their human, who will put a stop to their dog being distressed.

Congratulations by the way, on turning a light hearted, fun thread for dog lovers into something miserable.

Completely agree with tone. But as for understanding, I cannot concur. Word association, yes, but understand, no.

Apologies if earnest discussion wasn't the correct tone for the thread. I didn't see any signposts advising otherwise.
