Here's why you should talk to your dog as if it's a baby

The new search highlights the importance of "speaking of dog".


Just like with babies, humans automatically adopt a different voice when you talk to a dog. Personally, I like to insist with love mine by asking: "Who is a good boy?" About ten times in a row, and look at it like ", who is the good boy I need to know" before shouting "is you the good boy!" He totally loses his mind and spastic bouncing around to shout: "Oh my God plotted God it was me all along me."

Well, turns out, googly-boogly-boo voice we use to talk about our canine friends is not a form of madness. According toA new study from the University of YorkIt turns out "Dog-talk" helps us to bind with pets in the same way as "baby-talk" helps us bind them with babies.

The researchers wanted to see if the high and exaggerated way in which humans speak to dogs serves for purposes, or if it's just something we do because we consider dogs in the same way as babies.

"This acute rhythmic speech is common in human interactions with dogs in Western crops, but there is not much to know if it benefits a dog in the same way as it makes a baby", Dr. Katie slocombe, One of the researchers in the study,said at York University Newsletter. "We wanted to look at this issue and see if the social binding between animals and humans was influenced by the type and content of the communication."

Previous studies have found that "talk about dog" has improved commitment with puppies, but did not seem to matter to adult dogs. Previous studies have also disseminated a man's voice on a speaker, thus, in this trial, researchers have asked humans to be in the same room as the dog in order to make the fixation more natural.

The researchers then directed a series of tests in which they asked a human to say things like "you are a good dog" and "Let's go a walk", in the exaggerated and acute tone of "dog-talk . "

They then asked another human to say something to the dog who was not bound to the dog, like "I went to the cinema last night", in a normal adult voice.

They also mixed the speech directed by dogs with non-dog content, and vice versa, to determine whether it was the tone of their voice or the content of what they said it was important.

Then, the dogs were allowed to choose which of the humans they wanted to go out. The results revealed that the tone and content were important for engaging the dog.

"We found that adult dogs were more likely to interact and spend time with the speaker who has used dog-led speech with dog content, which they made those who used a directed speech. By adults without content related to the dog, "said Alex Benjamin, Ph.D., student of the Department of University Psychology. "When we mixed the two types of speeches and content, dogs showed no preference for a speaker on the other. This suggests that adult dogs must hear relevant dog words spoken to an emotional voice Acute to find it relevant. "

It's a fascinating discovery because it indicates that dogs do not just respond to the tone, they understand, at one point, namely what we actually say, since we announced "I went to a Libearian conference this week" Do not arouse the same excitement. like "let's go for a Wittle walk!"
