The Belgian Malinois

he gave a one word command......**** if I know what it was, in German

I'm actually going to incorporate German commands, I have to learn them first and be able to remember them and I'm quite sure it will take me longer than it will them...................lol.

Dogs don't really understand words so much, but rather the sound of the word. You can actually make up your own words and as long as you train that way they will learn.
