All humans talk to a dog at some point in their lives.

Those who live alone tend to confer with us because they have no one else. Others have lots of people around but are chatty and like to be talking constantly, even if no one is paying attention. A few actually expect us to participate in the conversation. We recommend steering clear of these people.

No matter what the situation, you should always listen when your owner talks to you. He’s trying to say something.

However, there is a difference between talking that is conversational and that which is meant to be authoritative. It’s usually pretty easy to distinguish between the two. Obviously if you’re on the table eating the flowers, it’s a good guess that you’re in big trouble, because you’re on the table eating the flowers.

Things become more complicated when humans, specifically owners, don’t always mean exactly what they say. An order you interpret as being angry or negative may not be so at all, and may just be their awkward way of reacting to something else.
