What Dogs Understand
"Blah blah blah blah blah GINGER blah blah blah GINGER blah blah blah blah blah"

A command is a command, and it would seem that the dog actually will listen if those commands are not lost in the rest of my constant babble.
With the exception of ""don't be rude" all of my commands are one word.
Sit
Down
Enough
Off
Out
Ok
Here
Attack
Watch
Language depends on the dog and the application.

I loose my voice alot, so I've also begun teaching her hand commands too. I click my tongue for her to look at me, then give her the hand signal.

So, how will you change your tone in a hand signal?
Just something to think about.

I don't use the names, just correct for obeying to the wrong word.
