Gingerbread has picked up those little signs that we're going for a walk also. Usually if I
ut on my jeans we're going for a walk. Or, if my husband and I are going to take him with us when we go out, he can tell when we're getting ready. When we start milling around towards the door he gets REALLY excited.
Other signs he recognizes:
Opening a bottom cabinet in our kitchen, means I'm probably getting out the grooming supplies. When he sees the combs/brush he knows for sure.
Or, if I get the shampoo bottles and start getting stuff ready, like the hairdryer, towels, etc.- then he knows it's bath time and you can just see the look of dread on his little face. [

In the morning he knows I'm getting up for the day (and not just going to the bathroom or to get a drink) when I sit up and stretch. He starts bouncing around like Tigger!
He knows a few phrases and words:
bye bye
night night
go to sleepy (when he's pestering me for attention and I'm trying to sleep)
cookie
treat
toy
wait
okay
let's go (when he's lagging behind on leash)
There's also a certain baby talk voice that he knows is for him. He can be anywhere in the apartment and come over if he hears that voice.
That's about it..... I didn't really teach him obedience commands because he's naturally well behaved and small.
