Words/commands your dog knows/their age and breed

[Chevron383]

Off the back of the talking dogs thread I thought it might be quite interesting to see how much our dogs know.

17 month old terrier/cocker Cross

-his name
-sit
-down
-wait
-off
-go pee
-onto your chair
-excuse me (and he moves out of the way of the door/gate)
-ds name
-dh name
-go find
-whats this? (On a walk and he comes for a treat)
-leave it
-drop
-walk

So 15 in total. I'm hoping he'll pick up more as he gets older.

Pugpup is 16 weeks, he is reliable with some of them, erratic with the others depending on what else is going on

Sit
Stay
Leave it
Drop it
Wait
No biting
Go wee
Uh oh (when doesn't get command right)
Dinner
Walk
Let's go
Go say hi
Down
Hi five (ds thinks he's a circus dog lol)
Hi ten
Paw
In your bed

Oh and his name of course lol

Also kisses, I am not sure if he knows our names yet

10 year old Cockapoo:

Jack Russell just turned 2 years
Sit

Stay

And he has taught himself that the beeping from the oven means its crate time.

Oh, and:
What day is it today?
Is it Tuesday?
Is it Friday?
No... it's .....
SATURDAY SPECIAL!!!!
(Dh is convinced dog understands where this means we're going for a walk)

Oh and kiss.

He knows those commands by signal as well as words.

'Kiss' is a tap on the cheek, Sit is hand held up etc

Oh yes we also have "give mummy a kiss" but he knows that means point his nose somewhere near my ear. He licks ds on the face but never me.

18month Malamute, recently adopted. She knows:

Her name
Sit
Lie down
Roll over
Up (get onto something)
Down (get down from something)
Catch
Treat
Walk
Good girl (gives me a grin!)
Crate
Bedtime
Wait
Leave
Ball
Baby (her soft toy)

Would love to teach her some canicross commands after she settles, she seems like a very bright girl (if a little stubborn!)

Mine is 3 years old shirts cross and knows his name and only one of the kids names, walkies, sausage , the name of his favourite place to walk. Commands sit, wait, here, down ,wee, fetch.
Cutest thing he does is carry his water bowl to wherever you are and starts to play with it when it's empty.

@DesiderataH I love that you have a multilingual dog 🙂

My favourite one we taught our 3 year old is
"Who wants to play? And she bounds off looking for a dog to play with.

Ddog is 3 year old cavapoo And knows the following

Tea time
Breakfast time
Sit
Wait
Stay
Come
Ok

She does agility so also knows
Weave
Over
Tunnel
Left & Right

Oh and touch

By 4 years my Tibetan Terrier boy knew:

His name

Sit, Stay, Down Come

All his toys names (about 10) & he would go and get them & give to you for play time

Go Toilet on comand

He knew people's names, basically tell him to go and see Ylva Children or DH. Also knew names of regular visitors to Ylva house and all my co workers (he was an office dog) so about 30 people... he was able to pass on items to people, comand was "take" and go see XXX.

He could pick up items from the floor and give to you, place them in a box or pas to an other person.

Roll over & back.

Pretty beg

Give paw

Over - mainly to jump over child gate.

Shut door to crate (used paw to hold it close for me to lock 🤣)

Empty washing machine
Take items from washing basket and place into tumble dryer, shut door and switch dryer on (dryer had a big push button)

Ride a skate board

Speak

Be dead

Touch

Sad

... yes he was super dog! Some of it I taught him like classic dog tricks. Other stuff he figured out himself like toy / peoples names. The laundry help was a combination of the 2.

Jack Russell Terrier

Last night she was on my husband's lap and he announced to her that he needed a wee (!) she jumped off and stood at the door to be let out. So she knows that one.

I haven't tried to work out how many words she knows but she can hear a down jacket being taking out of a cupboard from upstairs. She responds to me putting on lip salve/lipstick as that means I'm going out but can tell by the shoes I put on whether she'll be coming with me. When we're out she responds to clicking noises and hand signals as much as spoken commands.

My previous dog responded to words spoken in conversation with another person and not directed at her. Words like cats, biscuits, toy, dinner, bed.

6 year old greyhound:

She's a collie cross and 18 months

heavens my wee fella is feeling rather underaccomplished..... going to get practising!

When we took our puppy to classes fifteen years ago we were told its a good idea to do hand signals alongside voice commands. Thank goodness we did because our lovely boy eventually lost his hearing. We have said goodbye to him now. Now we have our new pup we always use hand signals as well as voice commands. Best thing we did.

We did the hand signals too back when our last dog was small and I naturally use them for our wee pup raising my eyebrows seems to mean sit though.

Our 5 month old golden retriever knows
Off
Sit
Down
No
Come
Give
Wait
Ahaha- when mouthing
Mum/dad

Biscuits

We are currently doing our puppy training classes via zoom as our face to face obs can’t go ahead so hopefully he’ll learn some more, he’s a bright dog mostly our old golden could be a bit daft and this one is the same but lovely, he’s having a cuddle just now as is our morning routine
