Ever notice how excited your dog may get when you ask “who’s a good boy?” Well there may be a reason for that. A new study out of the University of York has it that dogs respond better to baby talk. Researchers found that like human babies that respond best to parents who speak in a high pitched happy voice, dogs like the sound of it too. Adult dogs used in the study reportedly reacted better to humans who spoke like babies rather than using their regular tone. The study suggests that talking high pitched can strengthen the bond between human and dog.
