That is my exact 7p nightly routine at home with my dog, except my dog came to me at age 6 with no understanding of the concept of language. I hold up the bone, and she sits down. I put it behind my back, and she lies down. I hold it back up, and she sits again, and then I hand it to her and then it’s gone. My dog cannot learn words, I have done my best. So we rely on voice tone, body language and some simple DSL. (Dog sign language, which I made up.) She responds to the name I gave her, but who knows if she recognizes the actual name or my tone, since on a rare occasion at home she ignores me because it almost time for a meal or treat and she is busy staring at the kitchen counters. (Her form of DSL.)

For such treats he will play a complete Shakespeare scene when you ask him to “Play dead”

Dogs will do most anything to please their “owners” even without treats, but they do appreciate them!
