ChloeEastwood Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 (edited) It was inevItable I would baby talk to the new puppy and recently my OH has caught this contagious disease. It was too hilarious witnessing a "Macho Man" revert to his inner child and coo coo every word. So the question is; Baby talker or Mature speaker?

luvsdogs Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 IMO both. I talk baby talk to my pets. I have different phrases for each of them. When training certain commands you need a more normal voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tilly Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I talk "normally" holding conversations with them ... but then I do the same with babies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marion 01 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I always talk normally to mine, just different tone for different occasions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although only for when they are being good, we use it as part of the reinforcement. They love it soo much :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChloeEastwood Posted April 19, 2012 Author Share Posted April 19, 2012 Hilarious at times when strangers come up and randomly drop the baby talk to my Pom puppy, I have to keep a straight face for over 2 mins or more. Can be quite a challenge after the 3rd guest speaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W Sibs Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Both :laugh: Mr CW has bypass the baby talk and now sings to Emmy (my Jap Spitz) every single morning. Emmy is now 2 years, and he has been doing it for... 2 years. It is very sweet a grown man melt over their little puppy. Hilarious, but very sweet at the same time.

Alyra Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Have to admit, most certainly a baby talker... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzy82 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 During training, normal voice. When cuddling them, baby voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donski Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I do really try NOT to do the baby talk thing, but seriously it seems to be a subconcious act, a biological imperative over which I have no control! There must be some sort of science behind it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MishB Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 (edited) My Hubby (Wharfie, hunter, redneck) baby talks both our dogs. I have video evidence of him snuggling & babbling to 2 tiny white baby bunnies that I have threatened to put on facebook :rofl: Edited May 6, 2012 by MishB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chequeredblackdog Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I do both too. I also find myself narrating for them a lot too they each have their own 'voice'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
