We've been taking care of my in-laws papillons for the past three weeks while they've been in Turkey; I can't wait to say G-T-F-O tomorrow.
It won't mean anything to their rat dogs, but it will definitely make my tail wag.A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

we can't say "dog park". The whining, wimpering, running in circles, never stops until they are in the car. We tried saying "DP" but they wised up to that pretty quick. Dog's can be smart when they want to.

one of my old dogs learned all the synonyms for walk and their spelling. We resorted to completely unrelated terms and hand motions with the dog out of the room.

go, walk, car, ride, treat and other words associated with treats, outside. Any of those and my dog goes from being a motionless, lumpy rug on the floor to phillip the hyper hypo.

This one is big in my house. We don't even have to say the word, spell it out, or imply it. They could be down the street at one of the neighbors house, we lightly and slowly open a thing of string cheese, and next you know the dogs have knocked down the front door and will snag it out of your hand. Think of a word and my dogs would react to it in some way.
Mommy
Daddy
Food and any thing the implies it in the least
baby
toy
run
walk
etc, etc, etc, etc..........

Ball, frisbee, toy, and kill. I have always used "where's your frisbe/ball?" to get him to go get the said toy, now all I have to say is where, and he starts looking around for something to play fetch with.
Thats really about it. It's not that he doesn't know what other words mean, its just that he really doesn't care about a whole lot else in life. He knows plenty of other commands, but he really just wants to chase things, that's about it.
I use kill as a pretty universal command. He knows the different meanings depending on the tone of voice I use.__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ________________
