I started teaching Deucy words at a very young age. He listens so WELL to EVERYTHING I say...even when I'm on the phone. I can talk to him almost like a person and he knows most all of the words. I started out teaching him small words like "cow"..then I made the sound of a cow and showed him the cows in the pasture so he could associate sound with object. He knows my outside guard dogs' names though he rarely has contact with them unless I'm holding him. He knows the words, "no", "ok", "train", "puppy dog"...(for when we go to vet or town to look for them) "kitty","frog", "flower" "mow", eggs, treat, hungry, potty, poo, my people friends' names and many others. I have to be REAL careful NOT to mention a friend is coming by or he will go to every window watching and barking ..waiting for them to arrive. It's SO CUTE. He is SO smart. I just let him see the object, say the word several times and that is it. I also make the noise of a new word/object if we are in the car as he watches everything we pass. Association...it's all about association with objects for my baby. Good luck!
