I'm thinking of using both english and spanish for different dog
commands

These seem shorter then any english equivalents I can think of.

adios when i'm leaving the house
vamos let's go
mirar look at me


For the spanish ones I will never use the english equivalent. They
will only know one command for each task. What are your favorites?

Move!! For when I am sitting down on the couch and he has decided to sit in
my place.

Gently - For when he is around Emilie or is taking food/treats from us.

Wait - For when we are going up/down stairs or in/out of doors with (or
without) Emilie in our hands

I like MOVE. I can see the immediate use for that. I'm leaning
towards "easy" to use as "gentle" and I have "WAIT" on my list too.
Thanks

No problem. Wait is a command that I use pretty much every day. Whenever we
cross the street - Wait. Whenever he comes in the house, he gets wait while
I check his feet. Whenever we are carrying big/awkward loads up and down
the stairs - Wait.

Get down (off the sofa, off the chair, off the couch) is also extremely
useful.

I prefer "off" when wanting my dog to get off anything. I find it
confusing to say down or get down when "down" means to lay down.

Well, in the interests of disclosure, the commands are given in french, so
there is not any confusion.

Couche (down)
Debarque (get down)
Haute-toi (move)
Attends (wait)

Ahhh, that makes all the difference in the world. Thanks for the
clarification

"Leave it".. whether a kitty needing chasing or a tasty morsel. Worked
nicely the other nite when madam coon stopped by to snack on cat food and
Zelda was having a potty break.

"let's go" or "mumble mumble 'car ride'"

"in" when it's time to go inside

"house" for when we are walking and I want her to go home ahead of me rather
than waiting. I'm a slow walker.

"off" off the couch cos I want to sit there.

"down" when she jumps up to try to lick her fav people.. she's pretty
careful but I still don't need her knocking up against people."all the way"
means a complete down.. with "bang bang" meaning to lay on one's side and be
dead.. her head remains quite alive though g as she knows a good treat
follows that command.

"get it" .. whether a treat or to dig at a mole hole (mr. mole being long
gone but hope springs eternal)

"ok" .. means she can get out of the car/van. i once heard a distant
muffled barking.. and then realized Zelda had stayed in the van while we
unloaded it (multiple trips).. and here it was hours later. Thankfully it
was cool but not cold out. It also means (ok) that she can have fallen
morsels.. as long as the cats aren't eating it first ;-)

"thank you, good girl" for when she alerts on something.. like hubby getting
home or when the dog next door doesn't stop barking for umpteen hours and
she figures 'something must be wrong".

Stop-Must come to a complete stop no matter what. Used outside, on lead or
off. Was trained this at a young age in case of an emergency. In the
training world the dog is actually suppose to lay down..mine just stops and
stands there.

Out-Must release whatever's in his mouth.

We use many of the same commands mentioned including off, wait, etc.

I also like
"Here" - we use in 2 different contexts - one when throwing shorter
frisbee throws under 20 yards, I say "here" as the dog goes around and I
release the throw (this as opposed to "go" when it's a long bomb!), and
also I use "here" when walking on or off leash, it means stick close to
me.

"OK" - is my release command

"Go car" - when loading up in the vehicle

"Quiet" - shut up that silly barking!

"Leave It" - great command to tell them not to bother someone, some dog,
or pick up/roll in something nasty. This is a life saver if you have a
dog with a good nose......Crash once found an entire package of 100 oreo
cookies at the park, and respected the "leave it " command at about 30
yards away from me - good doggy!
