Guest larock Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Our dogs are not University Grads, thats for sure but they do great titly-head when you speak to them. Ella thinks her name is "No, no bad dog, BAD! No barking" and Roodie knows "Are you hungry?"; and they both know "Where's Daddy!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maggiespet Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Maggie has quite a vast vocabulary of words she understands. And multiple words for similar meanings. For instance the following list (not in any particular order)all mean "stop what you're doing". - stop - leave it - seriously! - seriously? - what the heck! - cut it out - nononononono - that's enough -what the #$@%!!!!! - what have you got? - is it still alive? - drop it - hey! - AHHHHHH!!!! Pure genius!

GreytNut Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 ¿No Kitty? ¿What is that exactly? No Kitty! means leave that cat alone, NOW! Often used when a hound looks like it's considering chasing the kitty, or is forcing unwanted attention on it.

kickchick2000 Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 We always said Milky Way was all looks and no books. He knows a few things but in general he isn't to bright He seems to understand hand signals and visuals more than words. He knows signals for go, smile, lay down, eat your food, potty, stay, turn, come, etc... Word wise he knows His name "snackie", Go potty "Walk"(do not dare say that one unless you mean it), Kissy- give mommy kisses No Now my english bulldog Sweet Pea, seems to know the entire english language and then some. Sweet Pea is super smart so we have to careful about what we say around her. She also seems to be able to understand sentences, spelling, words in context, and body parts.

Guest Gemma Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Peyton knows: no back up down bow paw other paw high five walk wait breakfast dinner treat muffin cookie kong car hey! He's also learned that when I say "Okay, love you! Bye!" it often means I am done talking on the phone/on skype and ready to take him out. He'll start prancing when I say this phrase even if I took him out just a few minutes ago.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jacks_Human Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 DBF and I recently discovered that Jack knows the word 'pub', because we often take him to a local place that has live music...and doggie biscuits. Jack loves flirting with the ladies and getting scritches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seattlegreygirl Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Ours know but won't cop to several words but the number one most recognizable phrase is: "Who wants bully sticks???" They come running every time. Quote http://divahound.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FijiHound Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 I'm sure Nugget knows more words than I give her credit for... But the tough decision making one she knows is 'in or out?' she has a choice whether she wants to spend the night inside with us or outside with the other dogs and when we go out she has a choice as well. She stands there and you can see the wheels turning lol she'll look in, then out, look in again and then makes her choice . (You'd be surprised it's 50/50!) 'Uh huh' is our word for no or take gently... or don't even think about going near Scruffy's dinner bowl 'Let's go' is dinner for some reason haha We don't have a word for the car though... as soon as her collar changes to her walking one she KNOWS it's car time and races there. She knows her name though and has perfect recall even when zooming on the beach. Oh yes - 'Do you want a biscuit' lol Just thinking back now though a lot of our 'language' is body language rather than words. Cassie out german shepherd has an extensive vocabulary and can even pick up sentences for her in the middle of a conversation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greyhead Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Come, wait, leave it, down, back, up, outside, walk, this way (follow me), let's go, food, milk, dinner, meatball, good boy, open (for pills), swallow (or I'll have to help you with that pill), leg (lift to get leash untangled), okay (get out of car), no, you're okay (nothing to worry about), and HEY (stop what you're doing and freeze). Spencer also is especially able, when motivated, to figure out what is being said using tone, context, and body language even if he doesn't know the words being used. But his genius is fading to the extent his geriatric status is advancing and leaving him more confused, bless his heart.

Guest 18tjettagrl Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 My question is since I'm a new adopted parent, is how long did it take for your babies to learn these words. I am lucky to get her to listen to come here or pee pee. She does know up and down. She just is so determined to not hear a word either of us say. Frustrating but maybe because its only been a little over a month and I know she's still trying to adjust to things. I've tried treats but she does what you want after a billion times of saying it then its like when you don't have a treat she just is like forget it...no treat no listen lol.

jshell Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Some of the phrases that Betty knows that I think are funny are: "Do you know what time it is?" (ie "is it time for dinner?") "Have you been a good girl? Do you know what good girls get?" (yummies!) "They're not here to see you" (something my parents would say to our old Schnauzer) and my new favorite: "Are you hungry?" Everything except "They're not here to see you" is typically greeted with the bow/stretch of agreement, also known as a "heck yeah!" Quote Betty "Beauty" Joan. 63B-21375. June 2003 - March 2015.

When I want Nike's attention I whisper "Nike are you listening?" really quietly. He always responds because it usually means a really good treat or walkies. I only do this when something wonderful ( as far as he is concerned) is going to happen and I don't do it too often. Try this once a day and see how long it takes him to get it.
