My passion is to have people coexisting in harmony with their pets. Every so often I am going to offer tips that can improve the relationship between you and your dog.
Tip #1 - Dogs understand more than the words we speak to them.
Adult dogs actually can understand roughly 50-250 words. Dogs and puppies alike understand your body language, tone and the emotion of the words that you speak. They are actually better at understanding our non-verbal language than most of the words that we utter.
Dogs have an instinctual desire to please their humans, so talk to them in a calm, positive way that they can understand and ...make it simple. Combine the word with a gesture such as "come" point to where you want them to come.
Use positive words, a non-stressed tone and open body language.
When training a puppy or dog I never use language like:
Play dead
Heal
Beg
These words have negative feelings attached to them.
It might seem like a silly nuance to most, but your dog will understand.
Words to consider:
And dogs are not slaves.
And love when you communicate
With them
In a positive way ..
Are you ready to have a better relationship with your dog?

That was an interesting post, Rose. In my 10 years as a certified trainer, there’s ONE BIG LESSON I have learned. More intelligent dogs are better behaved. A More intelligent dog takes commands easier and understands what you need from them. The good news is no matter how clever you think your dog is. You can unlock their hidden intelligence quickly and easily.
