Thanks for your explanation. I never saw it in another country, but here on the board there are several people who teach commands in another language.
I can understand it for dogs which are raised, trained and imported from another European country. But a puppy which flown in at 8 weeks or born in the States, why bother? Just my opinion.
For me: I learn all commands in dutch (my own language).
I have here 2 dogs which are going to england (quaraintaine rules). I have asked if the new owner wanted me to teach the dogs in English but it wasn´t necessary. He knows enough dutch to train the dogs in english-dutch when they are moved.And I do a little in normal training with them, only raised them.
Only trained the basics: how to bite ("vast") and "los" (out), and "hier" (come). So the new owner can turn the dog entirely to his hand.
I teach commands in whatever word I find comfortable. It's a mix of English, German, and my own native tongue. For instance "Down" is too soft for me, I rather like the way "Platz" goes, it sort of rolls off my tongue better. "Fuss" I also like better than "Heel", as is "Hier". However I use "Sit". I think it's just personal preference.
My female was taught with a mixture of Eng. and German commands. I just got a new Male Mal.. I want to "standardize" and use just one language. I got most of the commands from Dog Commands
I think that Geh Raus "Go Outside" should be fine.
Thanks everyone..
PS. I'll be posting pics of my pup "once I can get him to stay still" <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
Mike- you spelled chihuahuas right <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />. And in my experience, they don't really respond to *any* language.

Most small dogs seem respond very well to one command - Wanna Treat? They are past masters at selective hearing.

....I use other-than-English words in the probably misguided hope the dogs will respond to me and not be 'confused' or 'side-tracked' by a well meaning but occasionally delusional neighbor who tries to 'help' me by reinforceing my commands.....
I liked your whole reply, but this suggestion, echoed by another poster, makes absolute sense to me.
I cannot say strongly enough how much I resent other people "helping" me to command my dogs. It's rare, but never would be a lot better.

Unfortunately people kinda catch on to foreign commands pretty quickly... I use dutch commands for my dog as I've said before, n "plaatz" to my dog means "come to me and lay down in heel position", my friend once told my dog to Plaatz after hearing me say that, my dog walked over to me n lay down by MY feet <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> I still resent people giving my dog commands, but I was very amused by this.
