Hmm, I'm not that sure.
I did a month of quiet Yoga (no talking whatsoever) and brought my dog with me for the ride. I came to realize that the words are mostly there to help me, she doesn't care. If I switch the word and say it with the same energy/body language, the result is the same.
I don't even need words anymore, body language is more effective with my dog.

- bityard 2y agoDogs can absolutely learn sign language for basic commands. There are books about it. We had some success with ours. The main difficulty is you do have to use some kind of sound to get their attention if they're not looking at you. (Perhaps a clap would do.)

- bitwize 2y agoJohn W. Pilley conducted investigations involving his border collie named Chaser. Chaser had ~200 or so toys, each with a unique name; if Pilley asked her to fetch a toy by name, she would reliably find the corresponding toy out of a pile of all of them and bring it back. Pilley found that when Chaser was asked to fetch a toy whose name Chaser hadn't heard, Chaser would find the new toy she hadn't seen before in the pile and bring it back. He controlled for cues like face and body language by sitting still with his back to Chaser while giving the commands, so that he could neither see the toy being fetched nor unconsciously signal to Chaser. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaser_(dog) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaser_(dog)
