And quite a few more..... some dogs are pretty intelligent imo - I don't know how the Chinese considered them just as food to eat.

Answer 1

Trudy (her name)
wonna go for a walk?
sit
stay
fetch
leave
wait
drop

no

night night (goes to bed)
whats up? (she takes you where she wants you)
come here
want a hug? (she jumps on your lap and burrows her head in your chest, and waits for you to hung her)

erm....
probably more, cant remember them all. Absoluetly adore her. She knows who is who and knows everyones name and . She knows when your upset, she sits with you and looks at you as if to say 'Whats wrong?'. She likes music and shows curiosity at stuff too.

Dogs are more than 'just an animal' there unique and meaningful, fun to be around and loving.

Answer 4

Loads! Some of the favourites being:

Is that daddy! (when my husband comes home from work and Gordon-that's the dog-goes mental)
Do you love your mummy? (he either tries to give kisses or lays on his back and flippers his little legs at me - he's a miniature dachshund)
Do you want your tea?
Leave those cats ALONE!
Do you need a wee?/Go for a wee!
Where is it? (when hiding a toy behind your back and watching him go insane trying to find it!)
Good boy
He also thinks his name is a combination of Gordon (his actual name), Pickle and Pigglywiggily (which are his nicknames).

I think he's pretty clever - I love him loads!

Answer 5

About 50-60 command/words.

Answer 6

My dog is pretty smart and seems to understand quite a few words, but I cant say for sure just how many he knows.

Humans are also conditioned to learn to react to words just like dogs are. If I say sit and he sits, how can you possibly say he doesn't understand what sit means? Reacting correctly to a word proves they understand what the word refers to. Besides, unless you know a dog that speaks English, how could anyone possibly say what they do and dont understand??

Answer 7

Like somebody else mentioned, dogs don't really understand english, but know by the tone of your voice when you say it.

My dogs all know these words, and a few know more then others:

Sit
Shake a Paw
Lie Down
Rollover
Basement
Bad
Walk
Are You Hungry?
Kobe, Ryder, Ace, Prince (their names)
Go get your toy!
Is that fun?!
Go Away!
Who's a good doggie
Leave her alone
Sick 'em
Go get the cat
Put that down!
Go see mom
Go get Alex! (my sister)
Bring me that sock
Wanna go outside

and so on..

Answer 8

My dog understands about 60 verbal commands, and not quite as many hand signals. the will keep learning but you have to keep refreshing their memory too if you're not using them all the time. In addition to those mentioned, I also taught her to GO FIND, THIS WAY, WATCH OUT, for when I take her running leashed up to my bike and have to turn, AROUND, CRAWL, STOP, LEG, PAW, to lift them when caught around the leash, and some others too. It all depends on how willing your dog is to learn and please and how smart they are!!!

Answer 9

Dogs have the intelligence of a 7 - 8 year old girl. As long as you keep teaching, they'll keep learning. I suspect your dog knows a whole lot more words than that.

Answer 10

Ha, one word my dog knows is "Hey". I used that instead of "No" when she was a puppy (honestly I did not do it on purpose but my roomate at the time noticed it and pointed it out to me). Whenever I say that to her she knows she is doing something wrong.
