SH&TNS - So You Think Dogs Can Understand Your Words?

SH&TNS - So You Think Dogs Can Understand Your Words?

🎙 Welcome to Shane Hewitt & the Nightshift 🎙

Shane starts a happy Friday by sharing personal anecdotes about camping and his own dog, Harlow, a Great Dane, leading to a discussion about the human-animal bond and the potential for pet ownership to lead to social isolation. We play you some audio we have found from across the interwebs that are good examples of canine communication, and dogs' ability to understand human language.

Think your dog can understand words? This scientist says you might be right. New study on soundboard-trained dogs offers insights on their word comprehension levels. Federico Rossano, an associate professor in the department of cognitive sciences at the University of California, San Diego, joins Shane Hewitt to discuss his research findings suggesting that dogs in the study were able to understand certain words, contributing to the possibility of an enhanced bond between dogs and their owners. Lots more research to do on this topic, but for now, assume that Rover knows your secrets.
