    "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      That's tone of voice.

        @George-K

        Mik is right, it’s the tone of voice. But I also think the owner’s facial expression while shaming elicits a response from the dog. Dogs do seem to read human facial expressions.

          We just had to say "what did you do" to our German Shepherd and he was guilty as hell.

            They're not looking at you because in an adversarial situation like that it would be construed as aggressive in a pack. That's not guilt, its submission. They recognize the tone and face as being admonishment.

              Our youngest dog just rolls over on her back and asks for her tummy to be tickled.

              Guilt is not something she does. Random acts of chaos and destruction most certainly are.

              I was only joking
