I think people that know me would expect me to say yes – but I don’t talk to or negotiate with my dog

the only English he knows is ‘sit, down, stand, heel, finish, stay, wait, out, off, leave, good boy and fetch’
If I talk to him, he’d be well confused cos usually I’m telling him to do something
I think he knows a few swear words now, cos he looks at me funny when I nearly crash the land rover, as if to say that was close
