I just talk to my critters. Ive heard most dogs are as intelligent as a 2 year old so i think it would be appropriate

If I talked to my kids like I do my dog, DHS would be over at the house. Then again, the dog does mind me better.

I just kick and scream at mine.

Just kidding.

I think it is ridiculous when someone talks to their pets like they are a baby! For those that do, I understand you love your pet(s), but they probably think you have some mental issues talking like that to them.

I will chat incessantly to animals of all stripes, and I'm probably the worst with cattle. That being said I tend to converse with them like adults.

I had a show steer that would respond to stuff on command like a dog. It was awesome especially since he outweighed me by 1300lbs. He also ended up very tasty.

well i have experimented with my dogs - i think they understand the voice inflection you use when you call their name just as much as their actual name

i can call Sunny with any two syllable word as long as i say the word the same way I'd say her name

they react differently - in my opinion - to "sweet/fun talk" than they do just my normal tone....so if i want to affirm something they've done positive, i may use a different voice - albeit not a "baby voice"

i feel kind of silly saying "do you need to go potty" in the same voice i use to have conversations with my wife, friends, family, etc

however, this may just be proof that they're not nearly as smart as i'd like to think they are

I have seen a lot of people that think their kids are as smart as dogs. They aren't of course but they want to believe.

My dogs stay at home alone all day and even look out for the place. My kids never did that.

it took me 9 weeks to house break my dogs.......my boys were still ****ting their pants at 2 years

I brot Knothead home at about 10 months old, Found him at the dump
Let him stay in the shack that night. Woke up and he had **** in the floor. I called him to me Pointed at the poop and said NO, let him O/S he came back in and has never made any kind of mess since then.

Baby talk isn't as bad as dressing them up in clothes.

I had to walk away when an acquaintance announced they had just finalized their adoption and were so happy to finally be parents. When asked boy or girl, she announced female labradoodle named Princess. Now I'm seeing commercials from PetsMart or wherever talking to all the "pet parents" out there.

I love animals, but I'm not their parent and they aren't my children!!!!!
