I work in a convenience store and we sell different kinds of corndogs. We have several Spanish speaking customers that I can somewhat communicate with them, but I don't know how to say corndog. I have asked a couple of them and they don't know either. Can someone that really knows please help?

I work in a convenience store where we have numerous Spanish speaking customers. For the most part I can communicate with them with the little Spanish I know. I don't know how to say corndog though. I have asked a couple of my Spanish speaking customers and they didn't know. One said he thought it would just be "hotdog". I asked if it would be perro de maize and they laughed and said no. Any help would be appreciated. I like to be able to talk to my customers.

I applaud that you wish to communicate with your customers - that makes you special and hopefully your managers are aware of this.
Now, to your question. A literal translation to corngod would be perro de maiz, which of course will make no sense whatsoever to Spanish speaking people.
So, why not try to explain that it is a 'hot dog' prepared in a special way. I don´t know your recipe, but here goes a 'trial' - show them this and see if they understand:
"Es un hotdog rebozado en harina de maiz y condimentado con jalapeño y pimienta de cayenne. Esto se fríe en aceite y el resultado es muy rico. Pruebelo."
Then, let them taste it. Corn is very known to them as well as spicy foods, so you may have a match made in heaven...
Perhaps you can have a day at the store, when it is slow, and invite them to see how you prepare them. Convert this day into, say a monthly gathering of exchanging recipes and learning each other's languages.
Go for it, and I´ll bet you the results will be great, and by all means teach them how to say "corndog" - don´t create a translation, rather, make a new addition to their vocabulary.
Good luck! Let us know how it turns out.

A dog should be trained on how to eat, walk with you, not to bark, potty training and sleep on its place etc. You can teach anything to your puppy, dogs get trained easily with some good instructions. If you want some good training tips visit https://tinyurl.im/nRLAb
If properly trained, they should also understand whistle and gesture equivalents for all the relevant commands, e.g. short whistle or finger raised sit, long whistle or flat hand lay down, and so on.
It's important that they also get gestures and whistles as voice may not be sufficient over long distances and under certain circumstances.

A natural way for dogs to communicate is to bark at things they find or see, usually which are interesting or a threat to them. If you have a dog that barks too much, then you want to find a way to calm down the instinct by offering the best dog training. While you want to make sure your dog can express themselves sometimes by barking, you also want to focus on not letting the noise become a burden. Following are some of the dog training tips that help your dog to stop barking while establishing basic obedience rules for the home.
Start young. If you have an older dog that hasn't been trained to stop barking, it is difficult to stop. You want to make sure that you train puppies not to bark if they are doing it too much. The younger you start training them, the easier it will be for them to understand the dog training commands.
Understand what barking is for. Barks from a dog are used for several reasons. You want to make sure you understand why they bark and whether this can be prevented. Some common reasons for barking are from the dog being bored or lonely. If there are distractions that the dog feels are a threat, they may also bark. You can prevent dogs from barking by giving them extra attention or by getting another pet.
Reward them when they stop. Just like other types of obedience training, you can easily stop your dog from barking by showing them when to be quiet. This is known as one of the best dog training methods. Dog training commands and words such as saying quiet, with a voice that has a low tone, will easily stop your dog from barking. Once they do stop, you can reward them by telling them good in a higher tone and by giving them a treat. However, you need to do this instantly after they stop so they understand what the reward is for.
Anti bark collars. If your dog instinctively keeps barking at everything, then you can get a collar for extra training. When the dog barks, a stimulus or scent is set off which causes slight discomfort for the dog. If you aren't around and your dog starts barking, it will immediately stop them.
Know when to train. You want to make sure you don't leave your dog in a position where they can't express themselves. Even if you have neighbors who don't like the dog barking, there are certain times where they should be able to speak. Knowing when to apply commands and training and when to let them bark helps them to feel comfortable while allowing you to apply limitations.
The ability to offer the best dog training is one that is reliant on consistency and understanding your dog. If you have a pet that naturally wants to bark, then finding a way to monitor the behavior is the best step to take. Following these dog training tips can help you to establish better behavior with your dog while allowing them to express themselves at the right time.

perro de maiz. Although I think everyone is right there is probably no literal word for "corn dog". But, that's probably as close as you can get.
