I was watching Dogs Decoded, and they said the average dog only knows about fifteen commands. Now, because this IS a dog board, our dogs may know an above average amount, but I thought it would be interesting to see what everyone's dog knows.
Ozzy
Get out (leave the room)
Go get it
Hand it to me (usually toys, but he will sometimes pick stuff up that I've dropped)
Down
Sit
Roll over
Stop (not really stop moving, but stop what you're doing)
Wait
Here
Go get your (ball, tug, bone, chuckit ball, frisbee)
Off
Hup (load up, jump over or on something)
Up (stand up on your back legs)
Heel (loosely by my side)
Foos (German for heel, but this is his attention heel)
Quiet
Speak
Let's go (move forward after being stationary smelling something on a walk or whatever)
Take it
Drop it
Leave it
Get in (the **** tub)
Oz knows more stuff, and recognizes a LOT of words, but these are all commands that he will reliably respond to. He recognizes a lot of food words as well as words pertaining to him, his toys, going for a ride, etc
Enzo
Watch me
Take it
Drop it
Leave it
Sit (she'll sit UP now too, but I figured that's not a different command)
Stay
Down
Heel (her attention heel command)
With me (her walk with me loosely command)
Stand
Around (the right finish in rally)
Get in (her left finish in rally)
Load up (the car, she knows the context)
About (left about in rally)
Drop (on recall, emergencies, etc)
Hup (jump on this, or over this)
Go to your bed
Get out (of the kitchen dammit!)
Let's go (same as Ozzy's)
Wait
Here
In (the tub)
Be still (hold your standing position. I use her as a brace occasionally)
Front (rally again)
Come here (rest your upper body in my lap)
Off (of whatever)
Stop (whatever it is you're doing, STOP IT!)
Place
Enzo knows a lot of other things, like the down in motion, drop on recall, sit in motion, the thing that USED to be called a down in motion in rally where you stop and the dog immediately downs instead of sitting. We're working on teaching Find The Car right now, but it's not solid, so I left it off. Ummm, I'm sure I'm forgetting stuff she knows...
