Do Samoans live in grass huts?

No. Samoans have traditional homes. The big house is called Faletele, the little house behind that is called the Faleo'o; the Committee House in the Village is called Falekomiti; a big meeting house, usually in front of a faletele, is called Falefono. These are all made of native trees, and using coconut tree fronds and cane leaves for thatching, and using sennit instead of nails. Nowadays, a lot of Samoan homes are just like what you find anywhere else in the world, with all the mod cons.

What is the translation for this from Samoan to English Alu fai Lou agia ma Lou taine?

I feel that what you are saying is: "Alu e fai lou aiga ma lau teine/tane". If this is the case, then the translation would be: "Go have your family with your girl/husband". I got thrown by what you wrote "taine", which I thought could be, "teine", which in the sentence you gave, means girl (romantic way) or girlfriend. But if you meant "tane", then that would be "husband". That was the reason why I placed a slash between teine/tane or girl/husband. You just choose which one of the two you meant.

Can you tell me some common dog commands in Samoan with pronunciation so my dog isn't susceptible to other people's commands?

Is this really a good idea? Let's say your dog is loose on his own; wouldn't you want someone else to be able to say "come" or "stay" or "good dog" to your dog to make sure he's OK or get him to safety? In general, it's best to train a dog with the common training terms in use in the culture in which the dog lives.
