Vocal Inflections - How They Influence Your Dog's Responses

Doggie Dish Radio

Have you ever heard the phrase "It's not what you say, it's how you say it"? Well, that phrase has never been truer than when it is applied to how we communicate with dogs. Human beings rely heavily on words and vocal inflections to determine the meaning behind what other people are saying. Dogs, on the other hand, rely more on vocal inflections and body language. Today’s topic is about not only the words we use but how we say them. The tone of our voice and the inflections we use can help determine whether a dog will respond the way we want them to. Today Laura & Kim discuss how the tone of our voice alone can determine whether your dog responds to you, and the changes you can make to increase the likelihood of them doing so.
