Speaking of which, I was actually watching the sheepdog trials on TV the other day, and saw quite a good idea - he trained one dog in Welsh, the other in English, so he could give them commands individually.If it's a German Shepherd, he will have an easier time if you give the commands in German. Some of them just refuse to learn English, and will sit there lick their balls.
Not that it's relevant to the thread in any way, just thought it was a good idea.
