This one never fails to amuse other people:
"Do you wanna go brush your teeth?"
Auggie loves to get his teeth brushed. No, really. He gets terribly excited and runs to the bathroom to sit and wait for me to get the toothbrush loaded. If I'm taking too long he'll mouth off and bark at me, which he NEVER does any other time in the world.

'Where is it' or 'Find it', said quietly is what I use when out hunting. Petie responses the most to those words, but then I have hunted with him the most. The words are said quietly because you shouldn't have to 'pump' the dog up, nor do we want them over excited (that can get their faces ripped off as the dog enters the earth without thinking or too fast etc.) Those words will have him casting about, standing on his hind legs air scenting etc.
Those words flip his brain to 'hunt mode', I am careful not to use them when competing in agility etc, although I doubt he would respond if anyone else used them around him.
If you say 'Laura' (a friend that Bobbi adores), will send him running to the livingroom and looking behind the sofa. Go figure, she has never hide there on him, we don't know why he does that, but its funny.

Both Dasher and Zip get worked up when I say "you ready", b/c they associate that with agility and getting ready to run. I can say "are you ready" to Zip at the start line and he digs in gets ready to run. I don't say that to Dasher b/c we are working on his start line stays and needless to say he doesn't need that type of encouragement!! 
If I say "ball" they go nuts too, mainly leaping straight up in the air. They both give yips too.
I know about all about the JRT screams!! Dasher does it mainly in agility class when another fast dog is running. He will squeal like a pig!! Luckily Zip is a bit more dignified and only whines and shakes a bit.

LOL...well my dad started a new word with Trixie..I don't even know if I can spell it right...Its just some random word ( thats not even a word )...and she gets SOOOO excited about it ( she "thinks" it means walk ) even though she also knows and gets excited about the word walk and run...
He goes...( I will try to pronounce it out ) " nick-a-wog-wog "
She is such a goof, I have no idea how she picked this up..lol..but people think we are crazy, and they look at us funny when we ask her if she wants to go for a nickawogwog...and how she gets so excited and runs around the house..haha

"Wanna Go for a Walk" - She goes crazy, starts jumping up and down or circling me. Then runs to the door, back to me, and starts all over again.
"Let's get your food" - She gets wide eyed and a huge grin on her face. And won't leave my side till I get her food.
"Let's go outside" - She always come to my side or goes to the door, everytime.
Theres lots of other words or phrases she knows and gets excited over, but these are just a few.

Boomer is probably the one who goes crazy for the most amount of words. When I'm about to drive my son to school I can't say to my son "Lets go" or else Boomer will start to freak out.
They get excited if I say "Papa" when my husband is about to come home from work.
"Food" "Treat" "Cheese" "Hungry" gets them all perky and head tilting, especially Kassie. "Walk" "Car" "Kitty Kitty" "Puppy" the latter gets them more excited if we're in the car and we say "Puppy", they then start searching to see who's walking their dog.
Kassie loves when I say "I'm going to get you", it's our little chasing game.
I know there's more but I just can't think of them at the moment.
