Do domesticated dogs from other countries have different accents when they bark?

Question

My friend's black labrador is from Aix in France, and I'm sure he sounds different to local dogs. Bit more sexy and arrogant, too.

Answer 1

Yeah, in French they go "ouah ouah", in Spanish "guau guau" and in Italian "bau bau"
;?)


Seriously though, although they don't have accents on a country-to-country basis, animals may have an accent of sorts

Modern sound analysis techniques have demonstrated that individual animals each have their own "accent" - each individual can be identified from a sound recording (such as a recording of lots of dogs barking) once the individual characteristics of each dog's vocalisations have been analysed.

Dogs are social animals and use barking as a means of communication. Humans who move to a different place often start to adopt the local accent and dialect as a way of communicating more effectively, and there's no reason to suspect that it would be any different for a dog - it will learn from its neigbours, and start to mimic the different sounds it hears from other dogs around it to try to fit in with the new "pack". So dogs might sound different from place to place

Most of the difference between two dogs will be due to physiological factors though - the dog's breed, size, weight, age, health etc.

We converted our dog, she's Spanish but only understands English commands, but cant get rid of the characetristics, she's laid back, noisy, doesnt like to get up early, and sleeps in the afternoons. She barks and growls just like any other dog, no trace of accent at all

Answer 6

We tend to think of dog training as a series of steps for teaching particular behaviors. To teach a dog to stay in a particular position, you reward her as she remains in place for gradually longer times, at gradually greater distances, with gradually increasing degrees of distraction.

Now, this is fine, training does involve teaching dogs specific behaviors with a step-by-step approach. This week, though, I’m going to discuss three mental habits that will not only enable you train more effectively but also make life pleasant for both you and your dog.
