Can Dogs Talk?

This may seem like a funny question, but people have asked this a lot. It’s understood that dogs don’t talk in words like people do, but one has to wonder if they’re communicating in other ways. The truth is, dogs can talk in their own language. They can bark, howl, cry or whine. Any of these sounds means something to them and is most likely understood by other dogs. Some dogs howl or whine in a way that sounds a lot like people words including ‘mama’, ‘daddy,’ and even ‘no’. Dogs generally speak, however, with their body language including the movement of their ears, their tail, and their body as a whole. They also communicate by scent. Ever see your dog mark something? He’s telling other dogs that is his territory. Dogs may not speak our language, but they definitely have their own language. Learn more here or call your vets London, ON.
