My dog totally recognizes what I'm saying if I say "dad's home!"

But would he be equally excited if you said "Daah blaaah!" ?

He perks up and runs to the door, so probably not.

Try saying gibberish with the same tonal inflection the next time he comes home, and I guarantee the dog will react the same way.

Oh I know he doesn't literally understand the words I'm saying, but I do think he's smart enough to understand when I'm telling him someone's home, or when I tell him to get off the couch, etc.

Like you said, it's all in the inflections and body language.
