    Frequently ask questions

    I don’t see the commands listed in my language; how can I submit them?

    Click here to submit the commands in your language.

    How can I share details or ideas to edit a command or translation that I feel may be incorrect?

    How do these commands or translations vary from Google translate, or any other translation tool?

    Dog commands are not the same as a one-word answer in a language. To heel next to handler is the word “heel” which is different from “heal” which is part of the ankle.
    Some other examples of this are:

    • Lie down could be “down”, or “rest”, 
    • To bark on command could be “bark”, or “speak”, or in protection sport “guard”.  
    • To drop an item could be “drop”, or “out”, or “release”, or “leave-it”

    Further, the context of how/when these words or commands are used will vary from country to country, the dog sport or venue, and from one language to another. Our goal is to compile a database of words or phrases that are used as commands in the world of dog training.
