Great, now we have to spell when our dogs are around

[Sluggo]

My wife and I eat dinner about 7PM, the dogs eat at 7:30PM after we eat. Tonight at about 6:30 I asked the wife if she had any good ideas for dinner, and you guessed it...upon hearing the word dinner, the dogs flipped out and started hounding me to get fed.

So now we will have to carefully spell d-i-n-n-e-r when the dogs are around, and we thought we were avoiding such problems by not having kids.

Pics you ask??? Amos the Mutt, and Diablo the Husky

dogs own! we cant really say "walk" around the house my dogs get all crazy when we do and they think its in the context that we are taking them for a walk but most of the time they understand when we mean walk for them and just saying walk in a sentence

Odd. I have two smaller dogs. I just leave the bowl of dry food out 24/7. The can eat whenever they want. I never understood feeding dogs canned food or only feeding them once or twice a day.

I'm sorry, but my bird is 10x more annoying than your dogs. He's a lorikeet (he talks), and his cage is located in the kitchen. He has his beady little eyes on the lookout for whenever someone in my family breaks out food. Just opening the fridge results in earbleeding shrills that can bring any normal being to their knees.

my parents dogs understand walk, car, and treat. You have to spell all of those out or else they go nuts.

Dogs are freakin smart, much better than cats

I sure wish I didn't live in town because then I'd get a lab and a german shepard for sure.

Just what every dedicated dieter needs.

They will still catch on. We have gone through bone, b-o-n-e, and snack, as well as outside and o-u-t with ours.

who is it, ear, treat, speak, sit, stay, outside, kennel, good night, go, Hank, cat, monkey, ball, bath

Our dog understands all that, its frightening the other stuff he also understands.

My cat understands food, fed, feed, eat and hungry and will run to his dish upon hearing any one of these words. We've had to spell these out for a LONG time. He's on a strict fat-ass diet (his high was 15 lbs) and it's painful to see him teased because he's always so hungry.

My buddy used to have a lard-ass cat, whenever we partied at his house, about every 5 minutes someone would push the button on the electric can opener. The lard-ass cat would come slothing his way into the kitchen only to learn that he was being fvcked with. Eventually the guy would start to get pissed, we would just remind him of all the exercise the cat was getting.

That's why you train your dogs with obscure foreign vocabulary so this doesn't happen. And so that only you can command you dogs.

In your case, start substituting supper with dinner.

My dogs understand bye, walk, run, sit, car, food, and cheese. Mention either of these and you can get many, many reactions. You say bye and my dog Spunky would chase me to the door and give me a roundabout bark as I leave. He only does this if I say bye though. If I say nothing he just lays there and does his own thing. It cracks me up everytime. Walk and the run are the two unmentionables though. If I say walk or even begin it, my dog Clyde perks up and goes absolutely crazy around the house until you take him on a walk. He's like an eternal puppy, cutest dog in the world.

Because doggy instict tells them to eat all they can cause it might be a long time before they get to again plus they want to keep the other dog from getting their food. My dogs would kill themselves or would alteast be extrememly fat if I left out food all the time. That not true for all of them but it is for most of the ones I have seen.

My Jack russell terrier is nutzo about his tennis ball. You must spell b-a-l-l, or you must throw it. NO EXCEPTIONS!
He broke a nail yesterday, and man, is he depressed! The ball is put up, and he is mourning the loss.

We have to spell the words walk, dog park, ride, and Katie around Neeko now, besides all the other stuff (commands, etc.) that we've trained him. Dogs can be smart.

We've only had him 4 months, and he's only a year old, so it's scary to think about what else he'll pick up. He picks up a new word or command about every week now.
