They don't understand a language, they recognise sounds. for instance when i am taking my dog for a walk i say 'Walkies' and she gets exited when i say 'cookies' it basically has the same sound and so she thinks i am going to take her for a walk. This is the reason that dogs get confused when you give it a command that has the same sound as another command it all ready knows. So yeah LoL hope that helped ya! XD <//3

It's a lot easier for a dog to understand sign language, or body language, than it is to understand the English language, because dogs communicate with each other via body language.

Dogs definitely understand sign language. Some dogs are deaf and the way to communicate with them is through sign language. Even hearing dogs can be taught sign language and when you talk to them. Dogs are smart enough to know what signs mean what and what you want them to do.
Can dogs understand Farsi?
Dogs primarily rely on tone of voice, body language, and context to understand commands and communication. While they may learn to recognize certain words or sounds in any language, their comprehension is mostly universal and not dependent on a specific language like Farsi.
Why are dogs easier to train using the German language?
Dogs are not necessarily easier to train using the German language. It may seem that way in certain contexts because commands in German often have harsh or distinct sounds that dogs can more easily differentiate and respond to. The key to successful dog training lies in consistency, positive reinforcement, and building a strong communication bond with your pet, regardless of the language used.
Which animals can understand humans?
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. For an example, dogs do not understand humans but they do understand body language so if you were to teach them a simple command like sit then i guess they can understand you but through body language it all just takes time and patience.

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.
What language does male to poodles understand?
Male Poodles Understand any language you train them to.
Can dogs learn English?
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.
Can dogs understand human language?
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.
