    Amused by my neighbour talking to her dog like a child. I do this too. But not to this extent. "If your behaviour doesn't improve, young lady, I will be talking to Daddy about it. You'd better get your act together. I am not very happy with you at all at the moment."

        That's funny, but I once had a great dane that understood conditionals: "If you don't put Mommy's slipper down, Baron, you're going to go in the garage." And he'd look at me, look at the garage door, drop the slipper, put his head down and go lay in the corner with a harrumph.

        You should've just said canine Kant. Nicer rhythm and alliteration. ;)

        The *words* don’t matter to the dog but the *sentiment* does. The words you choose shape the sentiment you project, which is what the dog senses. The words do matter, but indirectly; not in the way we typically think they do.

        Agreed. I do generally talk to our dog in like manner. However, I would take some criticism of the "wait til your dad gets home," tack; she should claim that authority for herself.

        You’re taking it to the next level; projecting the sentiment of pack leader. Agree tho.

        What an amateur. Everybody knows that if you don’t delimit your clauses with “woof” then they’re just going to get confused.

        With me the same thing happens. "Talked to the pet like a child". But it was totally different. "But I don't WANNA go to school to day! Don't look at me like that! Why are you always on my case!"

        Once overheard an elderly cat lady having conversations with them, full on pauses to let them reply. Interesting insight into how lonely we can get and how much we need someone to talk to.

        People of'en have such conversations, imagining they are communicating, but the other party, eyes glazed, remains steadfastly clueless as to meaning. The protective core brain ("The Guardienne") receives these input signals first and is capable of autonomically blocking them.
