As man's most loyal friend, dogs play an important role in our lives. Many dog owners give their pets cute names and often call them by name. But, we can't help but ask: do dogs really know their names?

1. The dog's sensitivity to sound

In the first place, it is important to note that dogs are more sensitive to sound than people. Due to their ability to hear higher frequencies as well as their ability to localize where sound is coming from, the dog can easily detect the owner's voice and turn to the sound source whenever the owner calls his name.

2. Dog’s response and training

In everyday life, we find that dogs tend to look at us or run to us when they are called by their name. This reaction is actually a conditioned reflex that has been trained for a long time. By repeatedly calling the name and giving a reward or attention, the dog learns to associate the name with the owner's call and respond accordingly.

3. Results of scientific research

Scientific studies have also confirmed that dogs can recognize their own names. In one experiment, researchers trained a group of dogs to make certain movements when they heard their name. The results showed that most of the dogs were able to accurately identify their own names after training and respond accordingly.

However, it is important to note that not all dogs learn to recognize their own names quickly. This may be due to the dog's breed, personality, and training methods. Therefore, as owners, we need to teach them patiently and help them with love and care to build their knowledge of their name.

All in all, dogs do know their own names and respond to their owners' calls. This is due not only to their keen hearing, but also to daily training and the care of their owners. As we name and call our dogs, let's appreciate the moments we spend with these lovely creatures even more.
