Most available evidence says they cannot. However, scientists have observed that dogs respond to tone of voice, and they definitely respond to humans rewarding them with food or attention. Some owners are certain their dog can understand what is being said, but what they are seeing seems to be the dog reacting to the owner's emotions (dogs do seem able to understand when someone is happy with them or displeased with them).
It is certainly true that dogs can be trained to understand commands, but again, whether they understand the words or whether they associate the human's tone with a reward (food or praise) is still not entirely understood. Some breeds of dogs can also respond to a gesture, and some do become accustomed to responding when they hear a particular sound. But at this point, most scientists are not convinced that dogs understand the words that a human is saying.
