Many people who raise poodles believe it is almost impossible for poodles to understand human speech. So can poodles actually understand what people say? Let me analyze this for you.

First, from a basic biological perspective, humans and poodles do not belong to the same system nor species, so language communication is definitely not possible. For example, when people choose to communicate in Chinese or English, without learning those languages, communication is impossible. Therefore, for different species, linguistic communication is even more unattainable.

But does this mean that poodles cannot understand what others say? Actually, no. Poodles are considered one of the smarter breeds within the group. Their intelligence is equivalent to that of a 3 to 4-year-old human child, so when we teach them some basic commands, poodles can quickly grasp them. This is also why poodles receive a lot of attention among all dog breeds. Since poodles can be trained effectively through some basic methods, it is very important to remember that during training, harsh punishments and scolding are absolutely forbidden. Dogs have their own pride; if their pride is hurt, it will undoubtedly greatly affect their development.

From a scientific perspective, being able to understand human speech is actually due to the animal's innate reflexes. Even the dumbest dogs can, through training, roughly understand the reactions and needs their owners expect during communication. It is precisely for this reason that humans can have dialogues with dogs. If dogs and humans could not communicate with each other, many emotional exchanges would not truly be conveyed to pets. Dogs are the most loyal of all pets, which is why many owners hope to train their dogs to be the way they like.
