Silly commands you taught your dog, that you didn't realize you taught your dog.?
One of my friends noted to me this morning that my dog follows some very different kinds of commands. I never really thought about it before, but my dog knows commands like -
Knock it off/can it/don't make me have to kill you - meaning stop what you're doing right now
chill/Chill out/chillax - some people use "settle" but my dog will certainly chillax when told lol.
Have some wa wa - get a drink lol.
Haul a$$ - this one is actually from the Popeye movie with Robin Williams (those that have seen it will know what I'm talking about). Haul a$$, Haul a$$!!! and it means, get out of my way.
What sort of funny things does your dog know?
i have a puggle (pug/beagle mostly pug) anmed Sophie and shes the cutest idiot in the world.
"hup-up" means go upstairs or to hop on a couch,bed,etc
"down down down" is just the oposite of "hup-up"
if you kneel next to her and talt your head back saying "up up up up" in a high voice, she’ll usually tilat her head back too.
if you yell "puppies!!!" she goes and barks at the TV while she jumps up and down, smae thing if you start singing "there aint no bugs on me" from that flea commercial with all those puppies.
if you stomp on the floor, she runs in circles so fast that she practically falls sideways. and if you say "mommy’s home" or "is tookie here?" she go to the window and barks because she loves mom but she hates tookie (my aunts dog) theres more but i cant think of them. lol. so you;re not alone
I can ask my dog if she wants a bath or if she wants a b-a-t-h, & she will hang her head & try to hide. She also becomes excited if I ask her if she wants to go o-u-t. If I tell her to do me a favor, she will get in her cage.
When outside, if I ask where is that cat, (or deer) or see it, see it. She thinks a cat or deer is close by.
I teached her
‘What do you want’?
and now shes very lazy and everytime she drops a chew or something i say what do you want and she expects me to pick it up, maybe thats not silly but i dunno lool.
I guess I’d have to say her toy’s names haha! We say get bone-bone, get bear-bear- get roop-roop haha! All her toys have short little names repeated, but she’s picked them up and we say the name, and she runs off and picks them up, we really just called these toys during play lol. She loves her ball-ball too!
When I first got my dog (9 yrs ago) I still lived at my parents house. My dog slept in my room and by the time I went up to bed my little brothers were asleep and I accidentally somehow taught him to go up the stairs quietly by saying ’sshh’.
Oh geez, I really try and stay consistent with everyone and use the proper command so I look like I know what I am doing but I think the main one around my house that goes a long way and is adhered to better than any other is:
Shut the F*** Up.
i used to say oh you giving kises to my doberman pup, now if i sa kisses he will kiss my face, also at bed time when i crated him i always said to him its beddy time,and he recently only goes to bed if i say beddy.
also when i scream you are in trouble he runs either outside or in his crate and i never toughed him that
we raised my dog speaking english, and whenever i feed him something and there’s no more i’ll say "no mais" that’s "no more" in portuguese, and he understands.
haha i guess that’s really all i can think of right now.
Most of these were relevant before my old guy went deaf.
For some reason, this dog knows the word "porkchop" and he will howl. He knows it is associated with food.
"Night-night" means run up the stairs to the bedroom door.
My mom taught him "all-gone" with a hand gesture and when he sees/hears this, he knows he isn’t getting any more treats and will go sit and be quiet.
My dog actually knows what "B-A-T-H" spells. He runs to a corner and lowers his head and ears.
Hubby taught him "Curly-Q" and "Twisty-Top". When he would hear these, it meant that hubby was going to twist the hair on top of his head. Twisty-Top meant a unicorn horn and he didn’t mind that. Curly-Q involved more hair and twisted it down his head/back. He hated this and would try to tuck his head under anything he could find (covers, his bed, the couch, etc.) We don’t do this one since he can’t hear now. Dogs are very smart aren’t they.
For me it is "Cool It" to stop them from running through the house, play fighting and making a lot noise. Usually it has them heading for the dog door to continue outside.
All I have to say is "Pests" and they are in the kitchen ready for their dog brisket.
When I was a kid we had a little terrier mix that if you said "Want to go for a walk" he would run for the closet where his leash was. But if you said, in the same tone of voice, "Want to go for a bath" his tail would drop between his legs and he would try and hide.
"Let me up"- When he’s sitting in my lap and I have to get up, he’ll jump down and look me like "ok, now what are we doing?"
I’ll add others as I think of them
"You are getting on my last nerve" means head to your bed now.
‘You are possessed by the bad dog’ means sit now.
"Step away from the white stuff" quit sniffing the parrot poop.
"Dog you will not melt" Get you butt outside in the rain.
"Nobody" needs your opinion" quit barking
Rattle of the leash—- lets go for a walk
Rattle the car key—–Road trip
My dogs understand a long stream of profanities. I have the most horrendous mouth, I truly do- Something I just will not apologise for. I never speak to my dogs in anger, or frustration, so their reactions are probably more reactions to my energy than anything else, but they understand that the second I say a single dirty word(lol) they know I mean business.
And for some reason, ‘Get your a** in bed this instant’ means ‘go lie under my bedroom window, wagging like a spaz’.
I also can’t use the ‘H-word’ around my puppy. I have no clue how, but that word for him means jump up and wrap your arms around my waist. Only me, nobody else. I am, of course, talking about the word hug. I could train it out of him, but I rarely ever use the word anyway, and when I do, always want hugs from my oversized moron of a puppy.
My dog learned the oddest things.
Our dogs liek to ride in the back of the truck so we taught them get in the back. Our three dogs applied this to everything i nthe house…if they are sitting on the couch or bed and you sya get in the back they haul butt offa what ever they are on..it’s odd.
Then one that I never ment to teach was to tell our little heeler to go and find the other dog (her nose tends to lead her in the wrong directon) so if i say "where’s callie?" my other dog will go running off to find her.
mine is,who did that,
I have 3
one will hide under Sofa if it was him,one will roll on its back,and hope for a belly rub,and one will put his head down,so I usually know who did it
I also have a bad habit of saying Move,mommy(me) has to go pee,they all follow or are ahead of me to go to the bathroom
I have to say outside for them to go potty in the back yard,and bye bye they know means the front door
and if one won’t stop barking cause one is hogging the ball,I will say,do you want a bath,he’ll stop and go hide,weird thing is,he loves his bath,lol.he never fights me,he lifts his paws,he turns for me on his own when i go to wash his back side
Dogs are very smart
"God DAMN IT!" or "That is ENOUGH!" = dogs are to immediately cease and desist whatever they’re doing. Usually they all dive into crates or under the coffee table.
"Where does the puppy go?" = dog goes into his crate. Only works on one dog - the one I’ve had since he was 14 weeks old.
And, of course, whenever I go into the bathroom they all go into their crates. Why? Because the bathroom is usuallly my last stop before I leave the house. When I leave they get crated and a special treat for being in the crate. So to them bathroom = mom’s leaving = really good treat. Boy are they disappointed when I go into the bathroom and don’t leave the house.
Edit:
"Want this?" or "Here" means I have something to eat that I’m not going to finish. Works better than "come" when I want the dogs to come to me!
when are dogs do something bad we tell them to f*** off and they go lay down, also my chi i can tell her to go get my husband and she will go and find him and give him kisses
If you say "walk", even in casual conversation, our dog will go to the door and grab one of the leashes from the key-hang.
My dog knew that when I blew out the candles,hung the cordless phone on the charger that I was leaving the house. He also came to realize that I went to the bathroom before leaving the house and would sit in front of me waiting for me to tell him if he was coming with me or not.Funny how they pick up on our routines.
I LOVE your question, btw.
I have "taught" my dog to:
1. Stop by saying ‘whoa’. I have never noticed but normally when i ran with my dog ( because i own a horse i guess it rubbed off on me) and everytime i wanted to stop i would say "whoa!" and stop.
2. I taught her how to "go for a run". When I go sliding I would say lets go for a run and head down the hill with her chasing after my sled. Now, when I say it she will come to my side and look at me until i start.
3.Kiss- everyone I am sure knows what this means to a dog.
4. Hussle/Hike- Whenever I would call them to come inside I would call "Hussle" or "Hike". Now, they know what it means ( it’s basically come but in a different form.)
5.Thank-you : This to them and me is a good girl or boy! Whenever ( thanks to my mom) I got what I wanted from them I would say thank-you and give them a treat or pet them. Now, when I say it to them it is basically a form of happiness and has taught them "manners". AHAH
That’s it I think. I probably taught my dog much more that I didn’t even realize!
I say to my dog, "lets go upstairs" and she runs to the door that goes upstairs and waits for me to open it.
My favorite is all the words she knows for toy. I keep her toys put away, and take one out at least once a day to play with. If I accidentally say toy, or another word that means toy, she’ll run to the shelf it’s kept on and ask me to get it for her. She knows toy, T-O-Y, yot, and it. I am trying to think of a new word for toy she won’t understand.
Also she knows the difference between ball, bone, toy (and all the other words for toy), and rope.
