Do you talk to your dog?

My wife's yellow lab the I picked out as a pup is her dog she trained him as I told her too. She walks him so he better listen. But she puts the shocker on him. Now just the vibration on the shocker works when he's stubborn.
You would think in four years he would listen.

When I talk to him no matter what I say he doesn't listen to me. He looks at me and rolls his eyes. Unless I have some roast beef or a cheeseburger.
My cats listen to me more than the lab.

My female rot tie was very obedient much more than the lab.
 
Do you buy your pets Christmas presents?

The lab gets chicken jerky dog chews.

The cats get a case of fancy feast and cat toys.
 


Sure. The entire family talks to him like he's human. So do all our friends and neighbors.

If you think this fella doesn't know what you're saying, you haven't spent much time around dogs.

He can even say "WALK". It sounds more like a cross between a groan and a yawn, but you can understand it, and his timing and actions leave no doubt that he knows what he said and wants to do.
 
During the Christmas holiday there will be family, including eight dogs, in our small city home. We all talk to the dogs. They have there way of talking back to us and there doggie cousins. Our dog is, of course, the smartest. And, is smarter than your dog.
I've had cats. You can't talk to cats.

My cat hates cat treats//I do not and have not had a dog since mid 80s// but I do buy her toys. Her favorite ''toys'' are used cotton swabs.:eek:
 
And yes, I talk to my cat and she understands me. Her entire vocabulary is just one word: MEOW--which means the following:

I'm hungry.
Pet me.
Scratch my furry belly.
I'm hungry.
Go fetch my dinner.
I am watching that TV show, how DARE you change the channel.
I'm sleepy, smoothen out your lap.
My food bowl needs a refill even though its filled halfway to the rim//said several times per day.
I'm hungry, go fetch me a snack.
Clean out bathroom//aka//kitty litter box and bin.
I want outside--even hough I'm about to head for bed or are not dressed enough to go outside.
Change out my water//said at least four times a day.
I'm hungry.
When I first get home for the day, she runs to the opened door,sniffs my pant legs to make sure I have not been cheating on her by petting another animal--ESPECIALLY a dog!!!
I'm hungry.
I'm going to nap.

Not sure if I left anything out? but you get the jist.

Two of our cats are very vocal. Both are male. Mister Kitty is very vocal whenever he wants treats. He's also the one who likes to cuddle in bed. Middy the Black Kitty will talk when he wants to be petted. Arrow, our chunky girl, will come up and pat me on the arm with a paw when she wants attention, or thinks she needs more food. Our other girl, Skittles, won't let me touch her. She'll take treats from me, but otherwise, she is my wife's cat, and follows her everywhere.
 
I don't have a dog but I talk to any dog on my walk that pays attention to me. Some are too interested in the ducks or squirrels.
I talk to Ms Katz, the calico that lives in my yard and insists I owe her kibble or tuna at beckon calls. As to listening to me forgetaboutit.
