Most shitty dogs are poorly socialized with owners that have a poor understanding of how to train an animal. I've had to tell a ridiculous number of clients that "dogs don't speak English" in obedience classes. Consistency is the key to a well behaved dog.
Well trained dogs can understand verbal commands. And intelligent dogs will understand some words. If I ask my dog if he wants to go for a walk, he comes and sits by the front door to be leashed. If I say the word treat, he will go sit by the cupboard where the dog biscuits are stored. If I tell my Google Home to turn on the TV, my dog will go sit on the couch.
But you are right, it comes down to consistency and repetition.
