Is it true that dogs recognise their own names when spoken?
Unclear. The retrieved studies show dogs can pick out meaningful phonemic content in human speech and can be trained to respond to specific spoken words, but none of them tested whether dogs recognise their own names specifically. The evidence therefore covers only a weaker, related ability.
