Can dogs recognise accents?

A viral video shows a six-month-old rottweiler being told to sit, but not doing so until the command was given in a Northern Irish accent. 

Dog Trainer at K9 Care Grooming and Training, Tullamore, Derek Nevin, says dogs often pickup on visual commands.

He also says dogs can learn by association:
