Using Chinese commands like \u5750\u4e0b (zu\u00f2 xia)<\/em> and \u8fc7\u6765 (gu\u00f2 lai)<\/em> is a great way to improve your language skills while also training your dog. I’ve found that they’re simple, repetitive, and an easy way to impress native speakers.<\/p>\n

Get ready to turn your \u72d7 (g\u01d2u)<\/em> \u2014 dog<\/a> into your new language partner.<\/p>\n

[fluentu-toc]<\/p>\n

1. \u4e0d (b\u00f9)<\/em> \u2014 No<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Let\u2019s kick off the list with an essential because let\u2019s be real\u2014dogs always tend to do something they shouldn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

To nail the fourth tone<\/a>, try to say this term in a strong, stern manner. I like to imagine striking something with a hammer when I need to make sure I say the fourth tone correctly. Just make sure you keep the tone consistent if you say this several times in a row.<\/p>\n

2. \u5750(\u4e0b) (zu\u00f2 xia)<\/em> \u2014 Sit (down)<\/h2>\n

\"three<\/p>\n

The perfect command to add to your arsenal to get your dog to stop running in circles. Plus, this is the perfect lead-in for many other commands on this list!<\/p>\n

The word \u4e0b literally means \u201cdown\u201d and is placed after a verb to indicate a downward motion. You can also just say \u5750, though\u2014it doesn’t change the meaning of the command. \u5750\u4e0b is similar to \u201csit down\u201d in English, instead of \u201csit.\u201d<\/p>\n

3. \u8eba\u4e0b (t\u01ceng xia)<\/em> \u2014 Lie down<\/h2>\n

This is another classic command, and it’s a great way to set your dog up for some belly rubs.<\/p>\n

Unlike in \u5750\u4e0b, the word \u4e0b is an important part of this phrase, so be sure not to leave it out!\u00a0<\/p>\n

4. \u7ad9\u8d77\u6765 (zh\u00e0n q\u01d0 lai)<\/em> \u2014 Stand up<\/h2>\n

Need your dog to stop lying around and start moving? Then use this command.<\/p>\n

Just like in English, \u7ad9\u2014which translates to \u201cstand\u201d\u2014can be dropped for a shortened \u8d77\u6765 command.<\/p>\n

5. \u8fc7\u6765 \/ \u6765 (gu\u00f2 lai)<\/em>\u00a0 \u2014 Come here<\/h2>\n

\"dog<\/p>\n

You’ll hear this command all the time, and not just directed at dogs!<\/p>\n

\u8fc7 literally means \u201cto pass over,\u201d and \u6765 indicates towards you. It\u2019s pretty common to hear someone say \u6765 many times in a row when calling someone over, but you usually only hear \u8fc7\u6765 said once.<\/p>\n

Just like in English, you can accompany this command with a couple of waves of the hand or a pat on the knee.<\/p>\n

6. \u7ad9\u4f4f (zh\u00e0n zh\u00f9)<\/em> \/ \u505c (t\u00edng) <\/em>\/\u00a0 \u522b\u52a8 (bi\u00e9 d\u00f2ng)<\/em> \u2014 Stay<\/h2>\n

If your dog tends to go crazy on your walks, this command will certainly be handy for getting them to not move. You can also use it to get your dog to hold their position before fetching a ball.<\/p>\n

\u7ad9\u4f4f, \u505c and \u522b\u52a8 all mean roughly the same thing. I highly suggest sticking to one of these commands when you want to tell your dog to stay. Personally, I like to say \u522b\u52a8 since it sounds the most different from other commands.<\/p>\n

7. \u7b49\u7b49 (d\u011bng deng)<\/em> \u2014 Wait<\/h2>\n

If you have an energetic dog like mine, then this command will probably be the most handy one in the entire list. This command works like a charm for getting my dog to stop for a few seconds, before ultimately going back to running around.<\/p>\n

\u7b49\u7b49 can be said in one of two ways. You can say the second character without a tone, like what I’ve listed here. This means that it should be extremely short and crisp.<\/p>\n

But it can also be said like d\u011bng d\u011bng<\/em>. Just know that whenever third tones are paired together, the first of the two changes to the second tone. So make sure that you say this word like d\u00e9ng d\u011bng<\/em>, with the second tone followed by the third tone.<\/p>\n
