Hi fellow dog friends! Question for those of you who have had your dogs since they were older than one, but on the younger side...
Our pup shown below is between 2-2 1/2 (He was a rescue, so true age is unknown). We took him to obedience classes when he was 1-1 1/2, where he picked things up very quickly. We were unable to take him to the trick class we wanted to enroll him in. I am assuming they would have taught speaking on command in that class.
He has no problems barking. He LOVES barking at the trash guy, the recycle guy, UPS, FedEx, yard guys, anyone who comes all the way to the front door, when he's playing....otherwise, he is pretty quiet, but we cannot get him to do it on command. The dog we had before Wili, Bomber, he was about the same age when we got him and I don't remember ever actually teaching him to speak on command. I think that just over time, he learned to do it on his own.
So, if you taught your dog to speak on command, how did you go about doing it? I have watched a couple of YouTube videos, but those techniques didn't work. Any suggestions???
Thanks!
