Your Dogs' Vocabulary

[Jill]

I was wondering, what words or phrases do your all's dogs know?

Ours know this much English:

Breakfast (which is any meal... as in Winston loves to eat his breakfast in the morning and in the night)

Cookie

Mommy / Daddy

Outside

Wanna go in the car?

Let's go night-night

Get on your pillow

Get in your room

Come get some love

Time to get a bath

Daddy's Home / Mommy's Home

Look at the doggie (as in on the tv or out the window)

Names of their favorite toys (monkey, cow, laughing stock...)

Each other's names

Shut Up (I know, we are rude to them)

Kelsey and Maggie know sit and shake (Winston says he knows how to sit too, but he just doesn't need anyone to tell him to do it, he does it on his own.)

Drop It

Get off the porch

Get off the bed

Get on the bed

Give me a kiss

That's all I can think of right now!

Willy knows.........sit, down, aggghtt, leave it, come, here, crate, biscy, brekkies, shake(when he wants to), dam mit, ropey(his favorite toy), scoot

[Pepipony]

they know too much for their own good :bgrin My blind dog also knows easy, left, right, up, down, watch out, tack room ( as in go there) , pen ( as in go there too LOL) , out: of anywhere incl kitchen LOL They know the horses all by name

But the most impressive thing, Belle, heeler, knows what 21:00 means. TREAT TIME!!!!! There is a microwave over my shoulder where I sit, Belle picked up that she only gets treats after 9p. She will lay down in front of me about 10 minutes before, then when 21:00 comes up, she'll sit up and stare me down LOL Rotten little dog

Go (I love that one - it means "your on my nerves, please go anywhere else!!")

Walk (that's her favorite!)

Come Inside

Go Outside

Anna or Wolfie (her best friends)

Squirrel

Quit It (Generalized to mean anything she's doing - just please stop!)

Liz R.

 

[Jill]

Well, my dogs know a lot of words because they say if you think I "talk" a lot here, you should hear me at home. I never shut up. I'm always talking to them and making up songs for them. I'm a total goober for the dogs.

 

[Happy Valley]

Dixie the S'Bernard knows

[Pepipony]

Well, my dogs know a lot of words because they say if you think I "talk" a lot here, you should hear me at home. I never shut up. I'm always talking to them and making up songs for them. I'm a total goober for the dogs.

LOL Me too!! Too funny Everyone has numerous names, and they all come to them LOL I swear you can talk around hubbys Heeler, Belle, and she can follow the entire conversation.

We have to talk in code about some things, else she will for certain pick up on them. She knows when he is fixin to go to the bike shop whether she goes or stays home, just by me stating 'I will come get her'. Cant even say 'going alone?' She is tooo much.

Farrier was out the other day and I was loving on my mare, whispered that she was my girl and I loved her, she sighed bigtime. Farrier just about bust a gut laughing, had to stop untill he could stop LOL Didnt notice till then, but she sighs everytime I tell her that LOL Surely its just the tone of my voice that reassures her, but its still funny as heck

 

[chandab]

Ok, I'll play...

Both dogs know "Treat" [husband's heeler, knows a few herding commands, but no household manners]

Bridgette, my 10 year old Aussie Knows:

Come

Sit

down (as in lie down)

Wait (instead of stay)

Off

Load Up (get in the vehicle)

Out (as it out of the room, usually dining room or kitchen - works out in the horse pens, too)

Roll-over

Dog bed (means get on her bed)

Go-fer (as in wanna go-fer a ride)

shut-up (although she doesn't listen)

mean kitty (when I first back to MT, I lived with my mom and she had a big mean b/w cat - so we'd tell her the big mean kitty is coming and she'd go hide)

Heel (sort of)

Grandma - means were are going to go visit my mom

get the bucket - she helps me gather the horse's feed pans that they've spread all over their pen

get the ball

drop it - usually works to get her to drop her ball or toy

- I know there are a few more, but I'm at a loss as to what they are.

[Sun Runner Stables]

Yeah I got a real know it all to here. My one dog, Bear is my best friend and closest companion, is not the brightest cross, Chow/Golden. Hence, he does not have the brightest vocab, however, what he lacks in brains, he makes up for in heart! He knows,

Go Bye bye's,

Outside, ( I love this one, he spins around and does a little dance :lol: .)

Out (again away from where ever I am, normally in the ring or a paddock.)

Mommy,

Go get them, (to find us)

[mininik]

My Toy Poodle knows:

Phillipe (his name)

Sit.

Get the ball.

Good boy.

Bad boy. (used rarely)

Gimme a kiss!

Kisses!

Gimme love! (hugs)

No lick.

Cookies! (doggie cookies, of course)

Treats! (another word for cookies)

YIP YAPS! (These are specific treats that Phillipe just LOVES.)

I know I'm missing something... I'll also often give a commands in a sentence so Phillipe has to focus on me and what I'm saying in order to figure out what I want. The more you talk to your dog, the more they'll understand!

 

[RAPfrosty]

My dog has become somewhat stupid in her old age but still manages to understand us when she wants to LOL. She knows her name (Brandy), sit, "Gotta go outside?", "want to go for a walk!?", here, bad dog!, "Brandy, did you do this?", and can hear food being eaten from a mile away!

Tracey, get off the bed

TRACEY GET THE HE** OFF THE DA** BED!

 

[Field-of-Dreams]

Forrest, my Lab, is pretty smart- he knows all the "doggie" words: sit, stay, come, etc, but he also knows SENTENCES!

"Would you pick that up, please" means pick up something I dropped: a glove, piece of paper, hat, car keys- whatever. I'm lazy and don't want to bend over.... :lol:

"Go get your______ " toy, ball, "Tookie"....

"Would you go get that, please?" He's gone and picked up something not close by- today it was a halter I dropped out in the field when we played halter-break foals today. If he understands and can see what I want, he'll get it! Once he even went out into the pasture and picked up a piece of bubble wrap that had blown in there. It was over 100 feet away. And he's really good about getting my hat when it blows off into the neighbor's field. That way I don't have to crawl through the fence. He can do it much easier!

"Go lay down, please" (I say "please" alot....) He does, almost immediately. Normally used when I'm eating and don't wanna share. :lol:

"Are you ready to go feed?" Self- explanatory.

:

He got his Canine Good Citizen certificate when he was only two. So he gets to write his name as Forrest CGC. Gotta love those doggie initials!

See, that's what happens when you're single and live alone with your dog....

[Sterling]

Oh gosh so many to mention!! :lol: I'm always communicating with my girls and aside from verbals, I give them sign language. It's awesome that they can tell what time it is without even looking at a clock.....they know on weekends, when they normally go out about 5:15 during the week...well weekends are no different. Everyday at 3:00 no matter where I am they'll let me know it's time for them to eat....so does Larry!
