German Dog Commands

Article

• Lists ~48 German commands used in dog training (Sitz, Platz, Aus, Fass, etc.)
• Covers obedience, protection sport (Schutzhund), and everyday commands
• Explains German etymology behind each command

Discussion

• Police and security dogs often trained in German for command continuity across handlers
• Practical tip: ‘Sitz’/‘Platz’ sound too similar — mix German/English to avoid confusion
• Commenters note ‘Fass!’ (attack) is conspicuously absent from the list; also: Castle Woofenstein
