actually dogs can understand up to 20 phrases...as far as following commands, thats a differnet story, lol

I once saw a sign that said "sin is death" but if "all deaths are suicide (linda goodman)" and suicide is sin, then shouldnt "death is sin" be more appropriate?

It does explain where my father is always going wrong (he's hardly stern) and why neither of my parents can get their dog to listen to them while he's meek as a lamb with me... Or maybe their dog is just a very stubborn Shiba Inu who has by now learned that no means no with me, but thinks he can still pull it off with his owners

Anywayyy... Gestures really worked for my old dog. I didn't even have to talk to him to get him to do what I wanted. Of course, it helped that he was strongly attached to me, even though he was technically my parents' dog and I left him behind when I moved out on my own... I just had to snap my fingers and he would be there, point to the floor and he would sit. He obviously very quickly learned there was always a reward connected to the gesturing and the actions

i actually had a lab/retriever mix and no matter how you said sit or lay down, whether stern or not she would still respond and my current dog actually knows her name...you could say it and she'll look right at you or you could tell her to go to a person, using that persons name, and she'll go to that person

also, did you know sign language is technically a language in itself and not just gesters?

I know someone with 20% according to astro.com pisces influence so that is more than average if we go with 10 planets and they have a languages degree to a high standard (despite high school teachers saying negatives to put them off).
So listen to your own advice first and then listen to others was the moral of that story.

Pisces often taken in facts and ideas quickly and are often good at foreign languages.
