    Yes, because they communicate with natural behavior (I’m blanking on the word here. It’s behavior they were simply born with)

    Language is learned, but you can still “understand” another human if they are angry, crying, or laughing, no matter where they are from.

      A lot of dog social skills and communication is learnt, rather than preprogrammed. I wouldn’t dismiss the possibility of regional dialects immediately. There would be a lot of commonality, but plenty of room for mismatches remain.
