Yet, if you opt for other words to describe a command you can confuse them.

For instance, if you generally used the word “no” when you wanted to stop your dog from doing something wrong, and then you replaced this word with “stop” or whatever, then your dogs won’t immediately stop from what they were doing because it’s a new command for them that they don’t understand.

However, keep in mind that socializing is one of the most important things to consider when adopting a dog. You should socialize your dog properly from an early age, otherwise, they may develop destructive behavior.
