Sometimes the difficulty is just a language barrier: 4-year-old chihuahua Max responds only to Spanish.

In the short video, Kalee McGee explained that despite great effort, the new dog didn’t seem to respond to her commands: “He sits when you have a treat in your hand, not when you say sit, he knows what a crate is and he walks really well on a leash, so it seems he has some training, but he won’t listen to us.”“We figured it out: he only speaks Spanish…” she said.
“Our little chihuahua doesn’t know English and has been looking at us like ‘what are you talking about?’ I died when I found out so I’ve got to show you,” she explained before flipping her camera around to show Max.When she looks at him and says “Max, come”, he just stands there, but when she repeats the phrase in Spanish, he walks straight over to her happily wagging his tail.
The same thing happens when she tries to tell her chihuahua to sit: in English, he ignores her, and in Spanish, he does exactly what she says. “I don’t speak Spanish so I know that wasn’t the best, we’ve been relying on Google Translate, but please, if you have anything else, let me know, cause I would love to see how smart this cute little man is. I just don’t speak his language,” McGee shared on social media.Apparently, this is quite a common situation, because thousands of people started to share similar stories right after McGee published a video with Max.
