How to communicate with your dog?

Although our dog does not emit any sound with their movements and gestures we know what you want to say. With his facial expressions you can clarify your intent.
Place the head or paw on the back of another dog : a gesture of authority, as saying " I'm in charge here ."
Collect objects in the mouth : an example of this is when the dog gets teeth belt to walk, this is a challenge of power and may indicate that the dog does not accept the human as pack leader .
Place the leg at the knee from the owner is a request for attention.
Wallowing on the back : it is a sign but satisfied and happy . Normally do before or after an activity you enjoy.
Scratching the ground and starting grass with legs: He's leaving sign that has been there.
We can also look at the set , which can express two intentions :

Direct gaze : challenge or response to challenge by another dominant dog .
Eyes narrowed : a submissive dog response to a challenge . Acceptance of submission.

According to research, women have to comply with its approximately 20,000 words a day, no more and no less than 13,000 words more than men .
This is absolutely conditioned by a biological component . To be clear , researchers at the University of Maryland, have found that the FOXP2 protein is the culprit . In general, women have high levels of FoxP2 , also known as " protein language"
To reach these surprising findings, the researchers analyzed the linguistic behavior of ten children between three and five years. Different tests showed that girls were 30 % more children FOXP2 protein. It is also important to note that Foxp2 is located in a key area for the development of the language of human beings brain.

Sign Language

Sign language helps to bridge the gap between those who can hear and those who cannot. Using a collection of hand gestures and symbols, sign language is an effective means of communication that provides the deaf and those hard of hearing a way interact with the world around them. Learning and understanding sign language isn't just for the hearing impaired—it's also for those interested in being able to communicate with the hearing impaired. Sign language is not difficult to learn, and surveys show that a need for those who can use sign language is growing in business and around the world. Many colleges and universities have developed degrees programs in sign language to fill this need.




History tells us that the hearing impaired were once thought inferior to those who were not, but many hearing impaired or deaf people have made significant contributions to society. If these people were not given the ability to communicate with the world through sign language, then the gifts they had for society could never be shared.

Do animals can talk?

Practically all animals communicate each other to be recognized, hunt, be warned of dangers, show affection or enmity, but the language is more than that communication. 

According to Robin Dunbar language is uniquely human. Are some doubts about the dolphins, for example, but all other primates and terrestrial animals exhibit some forms of language in primitive forms, they are far from the complexity of the information exchanged between humans. It is possible to teach other animals to recognize and even imitate human speech. Dogs can learn 20 to 30 words and parrots play them, but no dog is able to speak voluntarily and parrots do not seem to distinguish between reproducing words and imitate other sounds. The process of voluntary speech is quite another thing.
