Yes well i sort of got it( maybe it hit home a bit too much with the upbringing bit) , I dislike shouting ,i rarely raise my voice and my dogs (and children when younger they are grown up now ) do as i ask, BUT my o/h does shout at times , i hate it ,  and when he does the dogs will not do as he asks, so he just gets more annoyed shouts louder then tells me the dogs are badly behaved .
So it would seem that both animals and humans relate better when spoken to in a calm and quiet manner.
Sorry if i rambled on.
