Dog Translator

Okay, Japan's done it again. I'm sure some of you have heard of the Dog Translator. It takes a dogs bark based on the breed of dog and translates it into english. What are some thoughts on this. I myself am intrigued by it, but am a little hesitant because I'm not sure I really want to know what my German Shepard is saying. He's tried to kill me on occasions.

Dogs do not communicate with barking, that is for warnings, and threats...

They communicate with facial movements, and body stances, so no amount of bark translators will tell you what your dog is trying to say to you..

I like the way you think! Theo is right. You can tell a lot more about your dog through body language and facial expressions then a bark, which is normally just a threat. I feel for you if you are serious about your GS trying killing you on occasion. Can't stand for that!

They say you order it by the dog's breed, I'd think mine would translate into German!! About the killing, we had the pond dug deeper one year, I was fishing on the dam when I heard Morgan coming through the weeds. When he was little he would jump up behind me into my back. This time he was like four years old and about 75 pounds. I turned around and he was already in the air. Knocks me into the water. Good thing I could swim, it's pretty deep there. Next day, I caught him and threw him in, he had never been in water until that day, don't think he liked it either. He's a good dog though, just a little intense. He's rather protective of me actually.

I have a little Maltese. Actullay he is big for his breed. He weighs about 12 pounds. He gets really peed off when he is sleeping and you try to move him.

One day he jumped on my bed and was sleeping on my pillow, I was yelling at him to get off, so finally I go to pick him up and the little turd bites my thumb and breaks the skin.

I don;t think I want to know what that CRAZY dog is thinking!!

All this so called translater does is detect loud noises. Buy one they're actually pretty cool. Turn up some good music and let it translate.

Dave Barry is a pretty good dog translator. He says they run up to people because hey! They might have food! And they sniff things because there might be food! And they eat strange things because it might be food! And then they hoark up whatever they ate because it wasn't food! And so on...

My neighbor has that breed of dog, and I absoulutely hate it. When I am working in the garage, all it does is bark. They put it outside because it barks. The family that owns is will leave the dog out all day, summer, winter, rain, shine. I feel bad for the poor dog. But anyway, other than that, all of the cairin terriors that I have seen are really nice dogs.

If it was my dog, that's when it becomes a 12 pound football, go deep.

I have two Basset Hounds, and I have to agree with 2bowers. It would be "Feed me. Feed me. Oh boy is that food? Feed me." You get the picture.
