Sure, dogs understand words. Wouldn't contest that (I think the record is something like 150).
They don't, however, understand what you're saying. And they don't understand the words unless you've said it to them many times and very carefully tied it to a specific real world stimulus. If you give the dog a treat every time you fart it will understand that word just as well.
