| Anybody change their tone of voice when talking to their pets?
I admit, I change my voice to talk to my little dog just like how people talk to babies. It does sound gay but whatever. I'm used to it and mostly unintentional. My family does it as well lol.
So how about you guys?

Sometimes. If i'm telling him to do something I speak to him in a deep stern voice cause i'm the BOUSS. But if I'm just having fun with him or playing with him, then I talk to him like he's a baby or something.

Same with me. I think all dog owners talk to their dogs in a baby voice at some point!

I don't use "baby talk" voice with either of my dogs. I do however change my tone. I always tell the students in my obedience class that sometimes you have to do or sound wacky when training. I use an annoying 'cheerleader' type tone to get a dog excited about doing what I'm going to ask of them. It works though, even as much as I find it annoying. lol. It's interesting too to see how each dog reacts and picks up on different tones. My Shih Tzu you have to sound very serious if you want him to stop being silly and get back to work. On the other hand the Terv I have now is much more sensitive and would take that type of tone as one of pure anger. I've found the long muzzled herding breeds are much more sensitive to tone and body language, where as all the mastiff style breeds, like my shih tzu, tend to not worry so much.

Has anyone had someone else tape them while they work with their dog?
It would be neat to see the reaction between dog and person and how they use tones of voice. I keep meaning to do it while training, but haven't had a chance yet.

Dogs pick up on your tone of voice and react to it just as humans do. How you talk to your dog is almost more important than what you say but also your body language when you say it important too.

I use a very stern voice most of the time, Uber seems to react better to that tone.

I know my cat responds to different names and tones. I talk to her like I'd talk to any other person, no real tone changes. Though she can hear it and knows when she's in trouble.

Berz out. | No question, if I'm yelling my dog tucks his tail and hides. Even when he's in my truck and if someone cut me off and I said something like, "what the fuck" I can see his body language change he gets upset.
