Rescued Dog from Georgia :)
We adopted a dog just over 3 months ago. She is an absolute angel and we adore her. She was a rescue from the streets in Georgia. This isn’t a situation of her having any behavioural issues, she has adjusted to our routine and responds to her name, knows when I grab her leash we’re going for a walk, she loves to cuddle, but it has slowly dawned on me that she clearly does not know English and she’s not just ignoring me at times. Which makes a lot of sense considering she just came to Canada earlier this year and spent her whole life in Georgia.
She is an older dog, but she is so well behaved, so gentle, literally the perfect dog, so I know she’s had some kind of training at some point, we don’t know her full history but her and her sister were found with their mom on the streets as puppies and have spent their whole life in the shelter.
I was wondering if anyone can help me learn some basic commands in Georgian, specifically for dogs? I almost feel more bonded to her since English wasn’t my first language either and I’m a fob as well, so I want to learn her language so she can feel more at home and feel understood and also just to reinforce safety commands. I know I can look up basic words, but I know in my language we talk to animals differently than humans so any dog phrases/commands I can learn for her the easier her life can be. Also when I use Google Translate it never has the speaker option to hear the word pronounced.
I’d love to learn the phrase for “stop” and “come back”, and if I can learn how to say “my beautiful princess” and “I love you” that would be a bonus. She’s had such a rough life, I’m not interested in her performing any tricks, but I would love for her to understand those commands if god forbid she slips out of her collar or something like that.
Thank you to anyone in advance who takes the time to teach me a new word 🤞
