Dog conversation questions

Here is a collection of conversation questions about dogs. Most people love them, and they are often considered loyal companions. They are said to be the first carnivorous animals to be domesticated by humans and are said to have been living alongside people for well over 10 thousand years.

If you are using this discussion handout in an English learning environment, make sure students are familiar with these words – breed, stray, afraid, bark, attack, tricks, and any others you think students don’t yet know.

There are also some dog vocabulary matching handouts here at ESL Vault, along with a word search about dog breeds to go along with this activity.
