Do your dogs have opinions and discussions with you. I mean, I’m not so mad that I don’t do their voices for them.

Yes, every day, I talk to her even though she can’t hear. I use sign language and she can tell by my face what I want from her.
She will nod at the biscuit tin

Sophie likes to lie on the mat by the front door. I would rather the front door was out of bounds and I often shut the dog gate that keeps the dogs away from it. Sophie then comes and stands four square in front of me staring into my eyes with brain drilling intensity until I give in and open the gate. I am usually the one providing a running commentary on our daily activities and soliciting the dogs' opinions though.

I wish he did, but apart from paw on my forearm and glancing from me to the empty yogurt pots every evening he’s not that chatty.

Fodhla speaks to Mr AP through me. She often tells him what I need too which is nice of her. She has an English accent.
Had a guinea pig once who came with the name Attila and he had a Hungarian accent.

Yes I have longer, more meaningful conversations with my dogs than with my husband. They generally agree with me on many subjects too, which is nice. Probably why we get along so well.

It has happened, but to be honest, most days the "conversations" are very one-sided, unless it involves something edible for Blomma.
However, ever since I developed heal spurs last Autumn, my mum started taking Blomma out for some short walks on her own, and now when I've gotten better, I take Blomma out for the longer dog walks, but my mum still often do the short ones, and both me, and my mum occasionally talk to Blomma when we're out walking with her, enough for on multiple occasions have made people we're passing/people passing by us, think that we're talking to them.

Ours has an opinion on literally everything and will share it at will. He’s not gobby or loud, but his posture says everything. The last one told us with his ears.
I do talk at them though, especially when I’m doing something they don’t like.

All our dogs have voices (we both do them) even in front of people, it took the last contractor thought it hilarious and it took him a long time to get used to it.
Sometimes I can be heard muttering things about 'doing it myself, not sure why I bothered bringing you' etc etc other times (more often) it's a conversation about how good they are at their job and how much easier they make things.
Maz has an awful lot to say about 'needing thing' lots of her sentences start with 'I need'.

My dog has a foul mouth on her sometimes, so apologies if you're easily offended by swears.

Only one reply last night when I last looked and I thought oh no… it’s just me and BB. 
.
We both do voices, OH and I . Looking at him you would never suspect that he’s nuts, but hey Ho.
When Smallest has friends round the dogs are banned from talking. They find it very difficult.

Ffee talks (like a dog, I mean). She yowls and yips and screams when excited. Thankfully she’s quiet when at work but transferring from my car to the estate vehicles out shooting she has to have a ball in her mouth to shut her up

When Lily was younger you could have an entite conversation with her, she's answer with all those wierd noises that staffies make. My other dogs all have voices but they're mostly kept in my head so far. I am very guilty of having a conversation and often get told off during gun dog groups for chatting to my dogs!

My partner often sits the dog down and has an honest and frank discussion with her. And as you can see she listens intently to her Daddy. ❤❤Do your dogs have opinions and discussions with you. I mean, I’m not so mad that I don’t do their voices for them.

oh and I forgot we also have a parrot named William. He often talks to the dog (quite literally!) although you can't always make out what he's saying to said dog.
The dog however thinks the parrot is there to play with him. He often playbows in front of the cage and yodels. The parrot will pick up his own plastic ball (he has a parrot ball he can throw around and is quite violent with it!) and throws it into the side of his cage. The dog goes a looking for said ball. chaos ensues.
And when the parrot gets going he is MUCH louder than the dog by a factor of at least 10. He screams like a banshee if he doesn't get his toast on time at breakfast and we really have to avoid programs on the telly with opera or brass bands on because he joins in.

Mitch is very vocal. Goose gets overexcited if you smack his bum or if you even talk about touching his bum, but presents it to you (very wiggly) and it’s hard to resist. Bear has a Romford accent, cos that’s where he’s from and the youngsters are Devonian. They mostly use the penetrating stare to convey their need for treats at the relevant time. Mitch becomes very affectionate and rubs your leg like a cat, but he is just doing it for food.

Ours has found her voice recently (4month old) and has strong opinions about where people should have conversations (not near our gate if she's not invited), what they should do outside their house when she's out on the green (how dare they sweep their paths, we've had discussions about how they are perfecly entitled to be outside their own houses), but it's also handy as she lets me know when clean-up is needed in the garden.DSB

Hilda[very tiny daxie] and I were together looking at a leather couch which had been chewed
I said her "did you do that?
Her reply was quite simply"No"
She then gave the game away and sicked up a piece of brown leather.

A lady brought her newly adopted grey hound(from Ireland) to my home to be measured for a dog coat
Shesaid the dog was timid and shut down.I started to talk to the dog in English and basically the dog went into meltdown of joy
She play bowed and yodeled wooo woos at me. The Italian lady was gobsmacked that her shutdown dog actually understood English. Really?

When Bandit does his own thing in agility i always say to him 'go and sit in the car and think about your life choices'
He gets in the car, and I swear as he's looking me straight in the eyes he's saying F***you
And also when we're practising 12 weaves he looks and me and in the voice of BA Baracus from the A Team says 'I ain't doin no weaves fool'
He's a very good impressionist I have to say.
