Many can form a contingency between certain sounds and such. For example, a dog can form a contingency between doing a trick and getting a reward, then further form a contingency between a certain command and when the trick performance would elicit a reward. However, there have been no known animals other than humans to know human language in its entirety

Definitely, animals have their language; this is seen clearly in their everyday activities.

* Though it has been argued that animals do not have their own language; they simply use noises and body movements to communicate. The closest thing a language would be that of parrots speaking, but even then, that is just mimicry.
