[nagdu] Your Dog Speaks German?

[Lyn Gwizdak]

Hey, Landon is bilingual - he knows Korean. When we do the bow out at our 
Soo Bahk Do class, our senior student starts the "Kiko..."  for the "Kiko 
baret" (who knows how to spell that!) and Landon gets up and shakes.  What's 
funny is that we do this same routine and Korean at the beginning of the 
class and Landon stays lying down quietly.  Goes to show how in tune our 
dogs are to what they SEE us do.

Lyn and Landon

>> Dear All,
>>    A little more than a year ago we had this exchange about my interest

>> When people hear me give him his commands, I frequently am asked, "Does

>> man!" They usually laugh and admit that they meant to say, "understand", 
>> rather than "speak"! Nonetheless, my "German speaking dog" opens up a lot
