You could say 'get in the tub' in Spanish and the dog would figure out what that means. The dog doesn't have a lexicon the same way people do. They simply associate the way the word is spoken with with a corresponding circumstance.

My dogs have been taught "Tub" when I say TUB they get in. same thing for "Crate" and "Jeep". there has been other times I have confused them when I talk(yell) at the kids.
Till we stopped Ceili from "crittering" - at least on walks - you couldn't say "squirrel". She'd go bonkers trying to find it. My 9-year-old started using the term "furfur" to avoid the madness. And, swear to goodness, Ceili knows that "hardshoe" means Bri's going to practice dance and she'd better get out of the way or get kicked, "fiddle" means music practice which she LOVES to listen to, and, of course, that the smoke alarm means dinner's ready....
My Shepherd has known my cat's name since it was seven months old. The cat stays in a shed and if I ask my dog "Where's Simba?" he will take off for the shed and salivate hoping we let him in!

Apparently we have the same "only cowards cook on low" mentality when it comes to dinner... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
I started training my girl in French only because some Ring commands sound a little silly in English IMO. If I could, I'd train the next one in Klingon- just because! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
I seriously considered using Gaelic to train Ceili - not likely we'll be speaking it around the house except for the odd Irish dance term. It's just such a DIFFICULT language, though.

My family hails from Scotland. I tried to learn Gaelic. TRIED. Failed horribly. I stick to step dancing and the occasional jig now... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
I am sticking to english. When I get frustrated it's the language most likely to come out of my mouth. When I decoy I have to do english, german, and french. Mentally inadjustable as I am, this ends up making me apologize to my poor dog who does not know that command. Even now poor Buko has english and german and I am trying not to use the german. trying. (sorry Buko) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
