Knowing 3 or more languages

What do you mean? Like "Sitz", "Sedni", or "I told you to sit down already goddammit"?

Mine know several. Never really thought much about it. What's your question?

If you have a really smart dog, there's  no much they can't learn.  It's not hard to teach a dog 2 languages.
English and German is easy

I like the ones that can read your mind. When they have done something wrong, you don't have to say a word, they know "the look"...

dogs have far less problem with languages than humans.  it is all one language, just different words for the same thing.

They read your body language anyway, much easier for a dog to understand the gist of what you want.

Here we use Croatian, German and English plus hand signals.  They even know curse words in several languages LOL.

Bilingual?  I'd put them in the movies! LOL! 

Sorry, couldn't resist...

My dog is learning German in addition to English, now that I've started doing schutzhund. She has no problem with it, once I show her a couple of times what I expect her to do when I give the 'new; command.

It comes in handy because I don't want her to do a schutzhund type focused heel when I'm walking down the street with her. So, 'fuss' is for the focused heel (her eyes focused on my face) and 'heel' is for just going for a walk in town, where I don't want her sniffing passersby and their groceries.
