What commands does your dog know?

[Deleted]

We're just starting training classes with my pup. She knows sit, shake and lay down. I'm working on leave it.

What commands does your dog know that either helpful/useful or just a fun trick?

Thanks!

Pel knows:

Sit
Lie down
Bow (so cute!)
Bed
Wait (before eating his dinner, taking a treat or going into/out of the house)
Wait Please (when he gets ahead of me on a walk)
Gentle (for taking treats)
Leave it
Drop it (not 100%)

[redheadbaker]

Both know:
Sit
Down
Stay
Come
Give Paw
Give High Five
Touch
Easy (stop pulling on leash - the pit bull just selectively listens, grrr)
Heel (walk at my knee and make eye contact -- again, the pit bull selectively listens)
Watch me

Just my Aussie Shepherd knows:
Roll over
Beg (well, the pit bull knows what it means, but can't physically do it -- he falls over)

[patches31709]

Sit, stay, lay down, roll over, dead, bow, crawl, stand, sit up, beg, high five, paw (left foot), other paw (right foot), spin (clockwise), twirl (counter-clockwise), back up, quiet, leave it, walk, heel, 8 (figure eights through our legs), get your ball, get your frisbee, bring it, watch me

Very few are useful except for times when he has too much energy and we just need to make him use his brain for a few minutes to tire him out.

My guys know a bunch. Aside from the basics they do left/right shake, back, bow, scootch(keeping a bow and scooting backwards), spin/twirl, swish (spin in front and back up between my legs or under my bent knee), jive (back around me in a circle), spot, beg, over, hup (jump on my back or bent knee), and I'm sure others I forgot.

Patches- I didn't know Patches played frisbee we actually have a micro-dog division for dogs under 25lbs or under 16in tall. I'm not sure where you are located but we have a tournament in NY every August.

Hug
Kiss
turn around
jump
catch
wait
"do you wanna..." he knows he has a choice
inside
outside
pee pee
poopy
cookie
ice
water
play
ball
bone
smile - he literally smiles
sleep
shake
go
stop
hurry up
home
"bang" - he dramatically falls over dead..sometimes you have to shoot him a couple times and sometimes he walks around hurt before he falls down. It's hilarious.
play dead - he just rolls over on his back arms in the air
wipe your feet- for when it rains
wipe your mouth - after dinner bc he eats raw food
high five
leave it
hungry
eat

Oh really? Where in NY? He's pretty good at catching it, nothing spectacular, but he uses a soft frisbee. I'll probably have to change to regular frisbees, huh?

[setsail1999]

nah, for locals we don't make you use a specific disc I don't think.

It is a 2 day (training/clinics on Sat and competition on Sun) just east of Binghamton. And one on Long island as well in July. Oh, and a new one in NJ (basking ridge) this year.

[straymo]

Max doesn't know a ton: sit, wait, go pee, go poo, down are the main ones.

Lily knows a lot: sit, stay, wait, down, shake, other one (or her to shake the other hand), high five, double high five, roll over, go get me "X" (name a specific toy), go pee, ready ready (for poop), leave it, drop it, take it, easy (for soft mouth when taking pills), and then a bunch of agility commands.

Oh cool, I'll have to look into that. Thanks for the info!

Sit
Down
Stay
Roll over
Up
"bang"-play dead
Dance
Hop
Wait
Heel
Closer
Hoover-come clean up the mess I made in the kitchen
Shake
High five
Give kisses
Family hug
Off
Bath-confusing, actually means go to your bed. Because that's where he runs when he thinks we want to give him a bath.
Get a toy

[thegooser]

Come (walk to me and sit down in front of me)
Sit
Wait (draw an invisible line with your hand and she cannot cross it)
Release
Lay down
Get down (off a bed or couch)
Up-up (into a car, onto a bed or couch)
Shake
Jump up (front paws into your hands)
High-five
Leave it
Drop it
Potty
Out (leave the room)
Back up (not 100%, she backs up like 6 inches)
Go to your room (crate or bed)
No begging

Notably, she does not know stay or speak/bark.

She is very good at reading my facial cues and we really "get" each other at this point. We're very attuned to each other. I love it!

The most useful ones are out, wait/release, leave it, and go to your room, because they help me keep her safe in the kitchen and around the house. High five is her best trick just for fun. Also she generally knows she is not allowed on the furniture unless she is invited, which is not a trick but it keeps her from getting fur on my pillows and stuff, which is immensely helpful.

Our dog doesn't have very many commands down yet but she knows:

Sit
Shake (both right and left)
Outside (run to the back door)
Get it! (find her toy)
Twirl (turn around)

Sit and outside are by far the most useful but twirl is the command I have the most fun with.

[Susie]

Sit
Stand (for grooming)
Stay
Down
Come
Wait (balancing a treat on his nose)
Wait (don't run out the door until I say ok)
Heel
With me
Outside
Find ball
Give
Whoops (come clean up the food that I dropped)
Go home (crate)

[mrs.jacinthe]

Dot knows:
sit
wait
lay
leave it (although obedience on this one is spotty at best)
come
stairs
inside
off
stand
place (she's supposed to go and stand in the place where I point. Useful at the vet's office)
gimme belly (our version of roll over. She never made it all the way around, so I gave up.)
paw
mine
load up (jump into the car)
out
makeapoop! (LOL, has to be said as one word. If I say it as three words, she just looks at me.)
easy (for taking food)
look! (for cleaning up a mess/spill)

She also knows the treat-from game, which isn't really a command, but which is popular at parties. "This treat is from ..." and she's not allowed to eat the ones from the vet. LOL For the record, she's really good at the vet and not afraid at all. In fact, we've played this game FOR the vet and she thinks its hilarious.

[MissusTexas]

Miko knows a lot, but the one people are most impressed by is "wait". You can literally drop a steak in front of him, say the command, and he will wait for "go get it" or "leave it". He'll also stop mid-meal if we say the word, but that's torturous so we don't do that to him unless we need to.

[independencegirl74]

Zoey knows:
Sit

Paw/Other Paw
High Five/Other High Five/Double High Five

Spin (in a circle)
Crawl
Look
Wait
Okay! (universal release if she's staying/waiting for something)

[jandk]

Sit, Stay, Here, Bed, Kennel, Shake, Down, Take It, Leave It, Off, Out, Okay( this is the word we use to release her from previous command), Focus, Quiet.

She knows all of those commands but she chooses when to listen to them

[Deleted]

My eldest brother got on me for teaching her commands that are not single words. But, she's a smart dog and understands a lot!

Let's see. She knows:

Sit.
Lay down.
Shake (but she often does with both paws, SO CUTE!!)
Go to bed.
Go to sleep. (lol. If she wont settle down when we're in bed and I say that, she plops down and lays her head down)
Outside.
Go to the bathroom.
Come.
She used to know 'give me a hug'. I would sit on my knees and say that, and she would jump up with her paws on my shoulders and lick my face. But I didn't stick with it for long and I think she forgot it.
Give me a kiss.
Speak, but she seems to only do it when I have a treat in my hand.
Down.
Let's go for a walk, or, let's go bye bye, and she always heads for the door.
She knows treat, food, pizza, etc, all means the same to her and she always heads for the kitchen lol. I do spoil her I admit.

There's more that I can't think of atm, but she is a great dog and I love her to pieces! She is so sweet and loving, and very obedient, and she loves people.

Do any of your dogs mimick you? Some times when I'm in bed, and I wake up and stretch, she'll yawn. Or if we're laying in bed and I take a deep breath, she takes a deep breath. I heard that it's a sympathy thing.
There is one thing she does and it's sooooo freaking cute!! My mom didn't believe it until she saw it. But some times my dog gets really sneezy, and one day I just started saying "bless you sneezy!!!", and she'd sneeze again. I'd say it again, and she'd sneeze once more. It's so funny!!! And it's gotten to where this will happen 2, 3 or even 4 times in a row now. ;D ;D
