48 German Dog Commands for Language Learners and Pet Owners

If you train your dog with German commands, you'll be repeating the commands over and over, which will help you memorize German words, especially verbs, which you can use later at places other than the dog park.

German dog commands are short and sweet and easy for dogs to understand, so both you and your dog will become bilingual with ease.

Many of the world's most popular dog breeds come from Germany. German Shepherds, Rottweilers, Doberman Pinscher, Schnauzers, Dachshunds, Great Danes, and yes, even Poodles and Pomeranians among many others, all originally came from the country.

Training your dog with German dog commands sounds darn cool. Speaking in German to your dog will impress your friends, not to mention that cutie—canine or otherwise—while out on a stroll!

German dog commands are also great for building up your grammar skills. Since commands are always given in the imperative, you'll naturally practice this verb form while telling your dog to bleib (stay) or bring (fetch).
