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.
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.
