I know for dogs baby talk can be useful to separate your communications, ensuring dogs only react when you're directly addressing them, and not when you bring up keywords in idle conversation on unrelated topics.
Not sure if this kind of compartmentalising is in any way useful for human babies, probably not in any beneficial way I guess.
- radicaldreamer 3y agoIt doesn’t work though, just try saying park, walk, or out in front of a dog to someone else…
- rkagerer 3y agoInteresting. My adult dog has an incredible sense of context. Knows exactly when to ignore key words. Even understands when we're talking about but not to him.
- lucideer 3y agoMine does too but the differentiation still helps a lot with enforcing the contextual difference. He at least knows when he picks up idle conversation that he's not being directly prompted: he's just likely to use it to anticipate something.
