Border Collie answers owners questions by nodding head

We all talk to our dogs on a regular basis. We often even ask them questions, but have you ever actually expected your pet to answer? Here we see something quite unimaginable! This smart Border Collie actually answers his owners questions by shaking his head yes and no!Show more

When asked if he ate his owners shoe, he responds by head shaking "no". His owner, clearly upset over the chewed show asks if he is sure he didn't eat the shoe and he shakes his head yes.

After the interrogation continues, he seems to get confused with his answers and changes his mind. He may know what yes and no are, but he really has to think about it!His answer starts to change as she keeps asking him about this shoe, and maybe it is pressure of the questioning, or maybe he really is guilty, but he seems to get flustered and change his story! We see guilt here!

We have the incredible urge to keep asking him more questions and see what he comes up with. If he has learned how to shake his head and answer questions, maybe he is capable of having a full conversation?

Border Collies have the ability to learn more then 200 words of the English language. That is equivalent to a two or three year old child. They understand most things their owners say to them, and if they don't, they will turn their head and listen really hard until they figure out what the word or phrase means. As you can see here, they are capable of learning anything you teach them including left from right, up from down and what color is what.

We are impressed with this smart and adorable dog and hope that really is innocent and didn't eat that shoe!
