I talk to sarge all time, I know he doesnt understand 99% of it but I also know hes only interested in the tone of my voice not the content. When im talking to him he knows he has my attetion and that im spending some quality time with him. He also gets a lot of pets. If he sits in front of me I put my hands on both sides of his head and lightly scratch under his ears.
If were out side maybe just a quick pat as he walks by. It just depends on the situation. At night before we go to sleep sarge jumps up on our bed and lays down between us. My wife and I both pet him for a few minutes and he gives kisses. After about 5 minutes he gets too hot and jumps off and walks into his kennel and lays down for the night.
Sarge was a rescue dog who was abused for the first 2 years of his life.He never got the love and attention most puppies get so At first he didnt really understand the concept of attention.
He gets it now!!! And he loves every second of it. So I guess you could say we'er trying to make up for lost time.
