You'tr quite right, Orion, I stopped by to revisit this 2-year-old thread (Hmmmm, what was in the first post to get it zapped?), only to find my bad "stand-up" routine even lamer than I remembered it. So I thought I'd add another one just as bad: - Assimil's "German Shepherd Without Tail." Barrrump-Chishhhh! 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Actually, I have taught my dogs Hungarian commands.
They know English commands, but I had to move back in with my parents for while, and so there were constantly people giving them the same English commands but never enforcing them (you know, cute little fluffy dog with big brown eyes giving them that look). Therefore, they became more and more ignorant of the English commands. I was so annoyed about this because they were previously very obedient! Nobody else in my family knows Hungarian, therefore I began to re-teach them in Hungarian and now whenever I want them to do something, I speak to them in Hungarian. Since I did this, they always follow my commands. I giggle to myself while everyone else struggles to get them to "sit" etc anymore. They're so ignorant to English because the commands mean nothing. About the only ones that still work are "Where's grandad?" and "Potty!".. LOL 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

My dog (yes that's him<==) gets spoken to in English, Thai and Lao. Sometimes when my
wife teaches him a new command he only understands it in her accent so I have to command him in English with a Thai accent. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

LOL I thought I'd keep things simple by sticking to English with my dogs, guess its not too late to try teaching them commands in other languages but it does seem like a rather pointless thing to do.
