Our ridgeback used to make a groaning noise that sounded like Nooooooo if we switched channels on the telly. She would follow it up with a dirty look as if to say, 'I was watching that.'

There are a lot of YouTube videos of 'talking dogs', so yes, I would say you may be able to train a dog to make a particular sound.

We don't have a dog now, our dear border collie died in Jan. She used to have a range of barks etc all which meant something.
Now we have a neighbour who looks after his son's english bulldog during the day. I was talking to them today and said can Hugo ( the dog) have bones? We're going to have lamb shoulder at the weekend, perhaps Hugo would like the bone?
Hugo perked up at once and barked 'ruuf ruuf!' Do you think he understood? He certainly seemed interested.
