Do you think dogs understand when you praise another dog for their behavior. Cooper barks on command now with no problem. I continually click and treat. Max sits right next to him but doesn't understand why I'm praising Cooper. I would think that Max would "get it". However, Max is not beginning to bark on command. It's a little quiet "ooof" that comes out. Not sure where he found his quiet voice!
