My because wanted to know if dos can talk so now I want to know, can they really talk?

Not in the human sense of the word.
But dogs can make whining or barking sounds when excited, scared or angry.
Some dogs can even be taught to "speak" on command.

My dog helps me my answers on AMHD.

He just said that I help HIM! He's always kidding.

In all seriousness, I can tell his different barks. I know when someone has pulled up in the yard. Or I can tell when they are next door. I can tell if it's a snake, or just another dog. That comes with being partners for over ten years.

But as far as TALKING...

Sure dogs can talk, they just don't speak any of the human languages. Haven't you ever heard to dogs talking to each other?

My new Dobie told me her name. The problem is the accents are atrocious, and they don't use sound waves very much.

That's three woofs, correct?

I can be far far in the back yard and my pup will start barking... my husband wants to know what's going on and I know it's just a fly in the window. There is a different sound for a bee in the window, a child walking by, a squirrel, Orlando (neighbors dog), my son coming to visit, a stranger at the door, etc... I always know what it is even if I'm not there and rush to help only when necessary. (like a bee, don't want him to eat it):D

They communicate very clearly, even if they all can't speak the language.:)

I agree! They do communicate and the different types of barks mean different things!

No, dogs can't talk the only way they talk is by barking.
Sometimes if you train a dog it can talk a little.

Where is Catsmine when you need something sarcastic? :D
