Absolutely fascinating!
Those of us who do obedience work have known this for a while. Our dogs are more tuned in to our body language with verbal as a secondary/back-up. They are also tuned in to the tone we use with language, as much as the actual word.
I agree on the body language. My dogs watch my every move when we are working as well as before dinner and bedtime. They know whats going on.
