Dog Vocabulary.

[Tilly2]

Mr T and I have just been discussing the wealth of words that little Tilly understands. She understands/responds to:- Tilly!, sit, stay, stand, leave, come, go, here, down, lie, over, ok, chewy, biscuit, no, go get, no more, good girl and CATS!

I'm sure there are lots more.

Amazing isn't it?

Any other commands your dog knows?

[Baldric]

or, dangerous towards cats!

[Zacs-Master]

Oh yes, garage, kennel, water, drink.....

[Tilly2]

Another one is 'Goodnight', then she gets on her bed. Just as I am about to do. goodnight all. Thanks for your responses. x

[Zacs-Master]

Does Zac win?

[Zacs-Master]

Looks like puddy cat to me.

[Tilly2]

Goodnight, babe. Sleep well.

[Zacs-Master]

LOL.

[Zacs-Master]

Oh and Go see if we suspect someone is approaching who we don't know. I'm sure I've given the best response but don't seem to be engaging the OP. (?).

[NoMercy]

Alfie understands:

Give us your paw

Do you want to go for a ride in the car?

What's that!? (When he's done a whoopsy doopsy do on kitchen floor)

Are you beautiful?

Come and give mummy a kiss

Are you hungry?

And various other snippets of conversation

[Zacs-Master]

Oh yes and when he's been naughty What have you done?

[kvalidir]

We have ' Go home' to send them back to the house when people are driving through the gates.
'Say hallo' to shake hands.
'Is there badness?' usually sends a guilty culprit skulking if one has done something they shouldn't.
'Stand up' and 'Teeth' I'm currently teaching my show dogs as well but early days yet with those.
We do hand signals as well- handy when your dog is over the other side of a road and needs to be kept safe from traffic although we also always sit at kerbs so when they get to a road in theory they just sit there.
I love dogs, usually so much nicer than people :)

[Arksided]

Bro's German Sheppard (Whom I look after often) as well as most already said, Garden, Shop and my favourite..."oh do you think so" he just stops in his tracks even if he's up to nothing.

[Wharton]

If Pavlov had experimented with cats instead of stupid dogs, we would never had heard of him.

[Peter Pedant]

I had a dog Labby that used to understand up to 200 words

i just used to speak English to it. - Go into work or stay here ?
if he went to the door - work
and he just sat there - stay here

Two onlookers asked each other - when is Peter coming back, and the dog went to the door and howled. We realised that it knew everyone's names including of course its own

[Peter Pedant]

I agree NoMercy my dog LOVED

have you been a good boy ?

[ oh yes certainly where are the biccies ? ]

[kvalidir]

I've seen that as possible too Peter, a guy who works for the family has a little scruffy wiry terrier cross called Cassie and he doesn't give her commands he speaks to her as if she is a person, very softly and politely. He'll say for example if she's on the front seat of the car ''Excuse me Cassie could you get in the back please, sShae wants to sit in the front'and she just hops over- quite amazing.

[aelmpvw]

i think my dog understands everything i say but chooses to ignore me unless i happen to say sausages

[jomifl]

dogs don't just understand words that are comands, they recognise the names of other animals and people. My Welsh collie knew at least 30 names.

[whiskeryron]
