The general rule of thumb is ... it's normal as long as the dog doesn't talk back in English, Spanish, French, or any other known human language.

It's actually very important to talk to your dog. You'll notice your dog responds to your voice and also to your body language; this is all an important part of his socialization with humans.

Your tone of voice and your body language when you say 'No!', or 'Good dog!' is easily recognized as being quite different, and this understanding makes training easy.

Remember it's better to say 'Good dog' when your dog gets it right and just keep quiet and try again when the dog gets it wrong - this is less distracting, more positive, and keeps training going smoothly.

As dogs grow and learn, they come to understand quite a substantial amount of human words, and the more words you use in short sentences, the more they understand. Just like a human baby, in fact. And the more of what you say and do that dogs understand, the better they'll relate to you and other humans.
