Well, if my dogs can comprehend 2000 words, they are hiding their knowledge very well! :(:p:D Maybe it's just that they both suffer from "selective hearing" - and Sparky is the master of it. ;)
Come on POM...are you admitting my dogs are smarter than yours? Mine ca even spell the words car, ride , walk, ice cream, suppertime,hungry, ball, bones, and they sure understand outside, wipe your feet, bath, groomer, (those to words mean to hide) I can't even remember how many they know.
When I spell car they go look on the bed to see what clothes I took out so they know if it's a walk, a doc's appt. a vet appt or just shopping...I'll go teach yours all that...:D:D:D
My cats can be very smart when they want to be. They all know the word "treat" and Storm even knows it when I spell it.;) They also know chow chow, crunchies, their many nick names, and even the word "no" when they want to.:)
My mom's dog RB Molly understood her very well. Her favorite word was "squirrel".
Her least favorite word was "bath"; the ears would go down. But when mom said "in" she would get in the tub.
Oh they know plenty - it's just that they only respond to the "good" ones. Cookie, lunch, chicken, yum-yums, are you hungry ~~~ do you see a pattern here??? Of course it's not all food tho - wanna go ride, get the ball, time for nite-nite, etc, all get a positive response. Then there are the ignore responses: come, no barking, bath time, time for your medicine, etc. As I said - selective hearing in action........:eek:Quote:
