Your dogs follow you, be it your time or body language. Name is just a secondry thing for them, they will recognise you even from the sound of your steps. Just try tapping your foot hard in the ground and see they will react. 




Yeah, I agree. Dogs have good hearing. I think the tone of your voice matters more than the words.

My dog does recognise the name but I hardly believe it knows it's her name. Because more than her name, sge responds to my shouting for aggression or calling her for food saying 'come'.
