Gaining more exposure to the Spanish language is the first noticeable advantage. You will learn the basics of giving commands in the imperative form.
Your dog will learn that those Spanish words are meant for him, which can improve his ability to “tune in.” when compared to English or other languages you might converse with people.
But first, let’s cover the fundamentals… A dog, in Spanish. How do you pronounce that?
Dog in Spanish is called either Perro or Perra.
You should learn the Spanish word for dog if you intend to communicate with your pet in that language. The “r” in this case is rolled in Spanish, hence the word is “perro.”

Talking about how large or small your dog is is as simple as saying “perro pequeo” or “perro grande” in Spanish.
All right, those are the male-stipulated versions of the terms. In Spanish, a puppy might be called a perra or a perrita depending on whether or not your dog is a female.

Spanish Dog Commands
Practicing your Spanish language skills by teaching your dog Spanish commands may be fun and gratifying. You can impress everyone with your dog’s newfound fluency in Spanish.
You can learn several useful phrases to instruct your perrito in Spanish. Just a few of the most frequent are listed here.
“Good Dog” and “Bad Dog” in Spanish
During dog training, you’ll want to choose a phrase that expresses your gratitude and affection for the dog’s efforts. If he does a good job, you can praise him by saying, “Good dog,” or “Buen perro.” As an alternative, you may tell him, “Very well!” (Muy bien!).
However, you may need to use a term to let him know if he is not listening or if he has done something wrong. In that instance, you can use the phrases “Perro malo” or “bad” to describe the dog.
“Take It” and “Drop It” in Spanish
You can put these expressions to good use when playing with your dog. Simply saying “tómalo” means “take it” to your dog. Take the stick (as in “Toma el palo”) is a phrase that incorporates this idea.
Tell your dog to drop the ball so you can toss it again if you’re playing fetch. If that’s the case, you should use the word suelta. Suelta can be combined with the word you want your dog to drop, like “Drop the ball” (Suelta la bola).
