DO DOGS UNDERSTAND?

When you talk to your dogs, how much of it do they understand? If you give them 1 or 2 word commands, they understand very well. I was just thinking about my three Chihuahuas and what their vocabularies consist of. Here is a list of the words that they know:

• “Down” – That one is easy. Get off the couch, the bed, or my lap;
• “Up” – I invite each dog up on the couch separately. I have to do this or they will all fly up on the couch,  run all over me, and I will have three tongues licking me all over my face until I can’t see or breathe;
• “Go” – That means get out of the kitchen. They go, but they turn around and come right back;
• “Do you want a cookie?” – This starts a barking frenzy as they run into the kitchen;
• “No” – This means stop whatever you are doing immediately, whether it’s chewing, eating from someones bowl, stealing clothing, pooping or peeing;
• “Speak” – Means, if you want a treat, you better bark;
• “Roll Over” – This means lay down and roll all the way over to the other side or you don’t get a cookie. Sissy is the only dog that I can get to roll over (Jonesy is too neurotic and Tinky is not that  “s”  “m”  “a”  “r”  “t”.
• “Let me see that tummy” – This means roll over on your back and you will get your tummy rubbed. Again, Sissy is the only one that I can get to roll over on her back. She also has the best tummy to rub ‘cuz it is like a football.
• “Wanna go bye bye?” – This means we are going to the vet’s. 
• “Wanna go outside?” – This means everybody meets at the back door and wait for it to open so we can romp in the grass and eat rabbit raisins!
