If it's a companion dog it doesn't matter either way.
Tell your friends not to give your dog commands and give it basic commands. Or if you want to keep it simple, use other English words that mean different things for the command not related to the typical.
This is kind of a personal preference thing. Meaning it's up to you. If you want to train it in Japanese or French, do that, either way it's your thing.
If you want to make up your code words using the English language then I'd make certain commands one syllable and then some two, defending on which type means come, or which means stop.
Dogs respond to sharp simple one syllable words best I think.
John Nelson, Sorry about the "Redneck" comments. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />
Brad is correct on his post. I'm training a young pup and all commands will be in English except for special/private commands. The most important thing is to keep others or limit them from giving commands to your dog.
Again I'm sorry for not answering your question directly.
not a problem! i enjoy "cutting "up as much as anyone. i really enjoy a heated debate between moderators, you get a lot more than a yes or no type answer. some one should explain to van camp that almost 2/3 of the pioneer texicans were from germany and austria. bet he didn't know that. guess what the were the ORIGINAL REDNECKS.
Training in a foreign language may sound cool, but there is another issue involved. This is the fact that under stress you will often, if not usually, revert back to your native tongue.
I beg to differ with you on this comment. English is my native language. However, my daughter's first babysitter for 18 months was German and I got use to discipling/correcting her in German. She is now nearly 6 and I still revert to German when I really want her to listen to me. Incidently I think most dogs are smart enough to learn in both languages, if done properly.
Cute Thread. Teach the officers that I work with here in Western NC German and Dutch and even Czech. Had to draw the line with Hungarian. Don't mean to offend but what kind of commands are "Uul" and "Feckutch" At some point you really have to recognize and accept the limitations of those you work with. I can definately relate to the butchered pronunciation. As with anything the foreign commands become second nature with practice.
This thread reminds me of my nephew years ago running away from my Rott pup yelling "number nine", "number nine" as the puppy was biting at his socks
