It is impossible for turtles to understand human speech. No animal can understand human language, but through training, they can form a reflection, so that they will make some actions when they hear specific commands. If you want to train a turtle, you can get familiar with it first, establish a good relationship with it, and then feed it at a fixed point to make it form a habit. After that, start ringing the bell to feed it, so that it can remember that there is food when ringing the bell, and it will take several months of training. First, can the tortoise understand people?

The tortoise can't understand people. Not only turtles, but also any other animals in nature can't understand human language. People can train animals to form reflections and make certain actions after receiving specific sounds, but this is not understood, and generally such commands are relatively simple. If they are too long and complicated, the training will be more difficult. Second, how to train the tortoise

1. Get familiar with it: The first step in training the tortoise is to establish a relationship with it, so let it get familiar with itself. At ordinary times, when feeding, you can touch and tease it, but don't use too much force to prevent it from shrinking its head. Through this way of contact, the tortoise can not be afraid of people, which is convenient for later training.

2. Fixed-point feeding: When feeding the tortoise at ordinary times, you must put it in a fixed place, so that every time you catch it, it will know that it is time to eat, and over time, it will become a habit to let it know to look for food as soon as it arrives here.

3. Ring the bell to feed: After feeding, prepare a bell and ring the bell to feed it. This training takes a long time, so you must insist on it without interruption, because the reflex may slowly fail over time, so you should start training it again. With the deepening of training, as long as the bell rings, it will wait for food at the designated place.
