Try teaching one in that Turkish whistled language. They'll never figure it out.Right!? most of the working dogs like German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois, etc. are trained in German, Czech, or French or a combination of them. Dutch is less common I think but still used sometimes.
I like them too because then you don’t have a bunch of randos trying to make your dog do stuff or rather, they still try but he won’t listen
Therefore, any future dog will be trained at least partially in a foreign language or at least use the foreign language for when I really need it to listen and let other people use whatever English commands they want so it doesn’t mess up the dog’s training.
If a dog hears a word too much, it starts to lose meaning so this way it won’t cause who’s gonna try to say foreign commands to it LOL but any foster dogs or guide dog puppies, etc. would, of course, be trained in English for that same reason. Harder to adopt a dog out if he doesn’t know English or at least hand signals.
Plus it just sounds cool! I think I would mix and match though cause I don’t like how some of the commands sound so I would use different ones that I like OR! Maybe train one dog in German and one in French or whatever so they don’t get confused when I’m not talking to them haha
