While dogs don’t grasp language the way humans do, they’re excellent at picking up on specific words, tones, and patterns. Most dogs can learn to recognize hundreds of words and phrases, especially those tied to actions or rewards, like “sit,” “walk,” or “treat.” They also rely heavily on your tone of voice and body language to understand context. So while they’re not dissecting grammar, they’re definitely tuned in to the essence of what you’re saying—especially when it involves something they love!
