Cavachons Included! 😉
You talk to your dog, right? (We all do—no shame!) But here’s the incredible part: your Cavachon might actually understand way more than you think. Studies have shown that most dogs can recognize up to 165 words, and some super-smart pups—like border collies—can learn over 1,000!
Now that’s something to bark about! 🐶💬
🗣️ So… What Kinds of Words Do Dogs Learn?
Dogs, including our sweet, intelligent Cavachons, learn words based on repetition, tone, and positive reinforcement. They often understand:
Their name (of course!)
Basic commands: sit, stay, down, come
Action words: walk, treat, ride, outside
Names of family members or other pets
Favorite toy names (“Get Lamby!”)
Emotional tones and short phrases like “Good boy!” or “Nope!”
🧠 The Cavachon Advantage
Cavachons, with their Bichon Frise smarts and Cavalier sweetness, tend to be:
Very people-focused
Highly trainable
Responsive to emotional cues
That makes them perfect candidates for learning words—especially if treats or cuddles are involved!
💡 How Can You Help Your Cavachon Learn More Words?
Repeat, repeat, repeat. Use the same words consistently.
Pair words with actions or objects.
Celebrate success! Praise them big-time when they get it right.
Make it fun! Use toys and games to teach words playfully.
Talk to them often. The more you speak, the more they absorb!
🐾 Final Thought:
Your Cavachon may not speak your language—but they’re listening closer than you think. So the next time you whisper “I love you,” just know… they probably get it. 💛
