They know the difference between &#8220;deck&#8221; and &#8220;outside&#8221;, and will go to the appropriate door when you say one word or the other (in a phrase or not).  We spell all kinds of words, especially &#8220;dog&#8221;, &#8220;cat&#8221;, &#8220;food&#8221; and &#8220;out&#8221;, to avoid crazy doggie behavior.  They actually picked up on &#8220;f.o.o.d.&#8221;, so we now spell it &#8220;f.u.d.&#8221;.  I would estimate that they know about 100 words and phrases.
