on 4/3/2008 I would love to be there to see the two of you barking up a storm. My German Shepherd, Jake, was a barker from day one. He sometimes mistakes Sit for Speak, so we have had to change both commands. You have to realize that you are not dealing with a human, they don't understand the vocabulary, just the movements and tones we use when saying the words. That is why it is helpful to use both physical and verbal commands. Sit is now Bottom. Speak is now Talk to Me. These sound nothing alike. They sound kinda crazy as commands, but it works for us. Also, when using verbal commands, it is important to say the word the same each time. Just like when you are programming your cellphone to dial mom ... when you say momma (changing the recorded voice) you might not get the response you were after. Oh, and if Mom does all the training, pup might not mind dad as well.

on 8/8/2006 I taught my dog to bark by saying the word bark and then making a barking noise myself. Then I said, 'Spangles Bark' (Spangles is the name of my dog), and he barked. This may only work for intelligent dogs, but it worked for mine.

on 1/9/2006 Have a treat ready and ask him to speak, then you bark, be real excited about it. Say speak again and you do the barking. When your dog barks, give him a treat and praise him. See how quick he learns!
