Dogs are not necessarily easier to train using the German language.

Basically it all depends if you were to train the animal to do so then there is a good chance that it can understand what you are saying.

Do people understand dogs?

No, they don't, if what you mean is "Do dogs understand English" for example. It may seem so, but what happens often is that dogs train US to do their bidding, so it appears that some kind of mental/verbal communication is going on. Dogs understand our behaviors (body language) on some level, and they respond to our rewards and other behaviors in predictable ways. I'm not dissing dogs, or claiming that they have no 'feelings'. I LOVE dogs. But training dogs involves much much more than our incorrect ideas about their understanding of our speech. Watch the Dog Whisperer. One of the best programs on TV.


How do people know what dogs are saying?

Not all dogs understand English, because they have to be taught English. Stray dogs, or dogs that do not know any tricks, do not understand any kind of English (except for their name if they are not stray). It is all a matter if they were taught it or not. They do not. Yes many dogs are trained and they know what people are saying, by our facial expressions and the tone of our voice. Even though some dogs know what we are saying without having training.
