In Germany, too, the dogs were trained to obey orders in Hebrew - responding to “shev” (sit), “artza” (down) and “kum” (up). A few years later, when the Nazis rose to power, the dog trainers in the German army discovered that the dogs would not respond to commands given in any other language. By order from above they had to continue speaking to them in Hebrew, however difficult and burdensome it might be.
