Can i speak to my dog?

You can speak to your dog all day long, and I'm pretty sure she understands at least some of what you're saying. She's probably answering in her own way, though it won't be in English...

Off course you can . You can talk and to be more correct about it you can communicate with your dog . Like mentioned before he might understand but a dog lack the cognitive abilities to talk or to produce vocal sounds. Therefore it is not really talking it's communicating...

I was just saying in an answer to another question that I've always felt like I connect to my dogs.  I sometimes feel like I have this connection with dogs that are strangers, but only every once in a while.  Usually, with my own dogs, I feel like I can read them, what they're feeling and thinking about.  I can tell what they want from me, if they're happy with me.  They can also read me and tell when I want them near or not, they can tell what I need from them.  For example, my dog Hershey always always sleeps upstairs with my parents.  I was sleeping downstairs on the couch because we had company in the house, and I really just wanted company.  I don't remember why I had been feeling so sad and lonely, but I spoke quietly to Hershey and asked her to stay, and when she got up to go upstairs a few times, I reminded her and asked her to stay with me.  In the end, my parents were shocked because she slept downstairs with me.  I think that there can be an incredibly strong connection with dogs and humans. 

i think there r ways 2 speak 2 animals if u know them and bond w/ them.

I absolutely think you can communicate with dogs. I have 3 dogs and each of them can read me like a book as I can read them. I always know when they're hungry or want to go out or want to watch tv. I know that they don't like watching other animals on the tv get hurt/killed (as I've left animal planet on where they show animals killing/injuring other animals and when I've come back, they were crying). They love when I listen to the Backstreet Boys and they get up and dance with me. No joke! They love sleeping next to me in bed and they are the best cuddlers ever! =) We have our own language.

Yes, yes, and yes, they love it and sometimes even understand in their own way.  Some how when i am sad they can here it in my voice and posture and will somehow reassure me everythings o.k. can he have a treat?  Also would like to clarify I have three boys not dogs they are so much a part of the family.
