do dogs have a universal language or do they need to learn different languages too2007-11-25 3:01:07

i live in a border community and know the importance of being bilingual. but i always wondered if the same could be said of dogs. i live maybe two miles from the international border to Mexico, so i learned spanish to better communicate and understand when spoken to in spanish. now, would my dogs also need to learn "spanish - dog" in order to speak and understand a dog from the other side of the border?

yes they are bilingual too.

im not a dog and i cant understand their language. but sad to say. it is called instinct.

I don't think dogs have a "language" at all

---

some say they have accents

Sort of. The japanese have invented a translator that puts barks into english, but it has to be set differently for each kind of dog. basically, they do speak the same language, but they've all get very strong "accents" depending on their breed.

Yes they would need to learn Spanish to communicate. They should also look up their customs and join them on national holidays.

nope.

For animals . their abilities given by Allah . when they born . they already knows what is necessary to know in life.

every animal have their language . just we don't understand .

Dogs communicate by body language. They would not recognise commands from humans in other languages though.
