why do all dogs bark in english?

Answer 1

What a great, funny and unusual question! You made my day!

Dog do not have any other language than that of ... Dogs! They understand and speak dogs!

You don't believe me? Try this simple little exercise:

Pat your dog and talk to him as you do when giving him/her cuddles, you know when you want to call your dog 'good boy/girl' Only use the following words:

1. Washing machine
2. Gingerbread man
3. Who shot JR

Say these words gently to your dog, you know as though they were love words and see his/her reaction! Your dog will wag his/her tail, show his/her contentment.

Then speak sternly, the way you do when his/her behaviour haven't been good. And say the following words in a stern tone:

1. Walkies
2. Going to get a treat
3. You're the best thing that ever happened to me

Watch your dog! As your tone remains stern, and although you're actually suggesting things he enjoys ... He'll recoil and appear fretful.

ICommunicating with dogs is all about nuances, the tone of your voice is the first indicator of things to come where they are concerned.

This is an exercise we all practiced while studying canine behaviour! As means to apply theory to practice while preparing an essay!

Answer 2

Dogs bark in Doglish

Answer 3

The English taught the first dog to bark in the 14 th century. It was a man named Rudolf Woof and he had a little Golden Retriever, and his wife was blind, so he taught the dog (named Poncho) to bark when his wife's tea was ready. And since then all the dogs have said the English sounding Woof.
That was a complete lie, but it sounds good doesn't it?

Answer 4

It may be because you live in a country where english is the official language, but if you go to spain dogs there bark in spanish and that's for sure.

Answer 5

If dogs barked in English we would understand them!! They don't bark in any language understandable by humans. So they obviously bark in dog.

Answer 6

They don't - they bark in "doginese." :o)

Ask people who have dogs in other countries like Spain, France, China, Russia, etc. - the dog's bark is the same. We just like to interpret it as English in this country.

Answer 7

all dogs can trace their maternal mitrocondrial dna back to a single wolf (sorry don't konw her name or nationality, check if you don't believe me). to celebrtate this universal bond the 1645 conference in england declared a comon language was to be used, namely english as thats where the conference took place. the words bark, woof, bowwow and ruff were establised , the meaning depending on how they are spoken ie a bit like oriental langauges.

Answer 8

Bizarrely, our local police force has stated using dogs from overseas as they cannot source enough UK trained dogs. these dogs do not understand the commands in English, so handlers are having to use translators to communicate with their dogs.... only in Sheffield could this happen....

Answer 9

Actually, dogs don't understand the words humans speak to them, no matter what language it is said in. What dogs understand is the inflections and tone of your voice. If you speak to them in a harsh tone, they know they are in trouble. If you speak to them in an excited tone, then they know they are probably going to get to go outside or do some other favorite activity. They don't understand the words themselves.
