Commands for Dogs

Question

I would like to know the Commands like COME, SIT , DOWN , BARK/SPEAK , STAY ,

Commands to use for a pet like a dog ! I’m trying to teach my german shepherd some spanish commands !! If anyone can help thank you

Answer 1

come = ven
sit = siéntate
down = échate
bark/speak = ladra/habla

I have never heard a Mexican tell a dog to bark or speak.

Also, in my experience, Mexicans often use participles/adjectives in place of commands for dogs. For example, rather than saying, for example, siéntate (the command sit yourself down), they say sentado (for males) or sentada (for females), meaning seated (the condition in which they want the dog to be).

In general, you can look at the conjugation for any verb and find the tú form of the affirmative imperative. (Go ahead, follow the link and find the tú form of the affirmative imperative.)

I hope that helps a little.

Hello!

These two links from 2010 might be the answer to your question.

• Puppy commands in Spanish...

Hope this helps.
