Study reveals dogs respond to ‘sing-songy’ speech, prefer women’s voices

Conducted by researchers in Hungary, the study delved into the nuanced ways in which dogs process human speech and respond to various vocal cues. The investigation revealed that dogs are more attuned to a sing-songy voice, characterized by rhythmic and melodic patterns, commonly used when conversing with young children. The study also found that dogs appear to favor women’s voices over men’s when it comes to processing speech. This heightened receptivity to female voices suggests a complex interplay between the dog’s auditory processing and the tonal qualities of spe...
