When using German Dog Commands to help train your dog, it can be a unique and effective way of giving your dog private commands. Not only is this a great way to better control you pet you’ll also better understand a foreign language which is cool in itself! Another great reason to use commands in a foreign language is so that your dog can better associate those words as commands instead of being confused by similar words or phrases when trying to address them
In the early 1900’s Germany held great efforts to train dogs for the war and police work, this lead to dogs being a successful tactic to enforcing law and using them as a service animal. German is one of the most used foreign languages (compared to English) when it comes to training commands as most of the words and phrases are made of unique sounds. Keep in mind you can also use other languages where the dog commands are unique sounds.
