Speak was one of the easiest to teach, and we used this same method with a few dogs. We just had a treat in our hand, and held out our hands palms facing out with fingers open, and just said "speak". They will eventually speak if they want that treat! We had a bull terrier and he was kinda slow LOL and he got this really fast. It's good to teach speak, bc then they will understand "no speak" or "no bark"
The grass thing makes sense too. I forgot to mention that. Uni still does not like to roll over on anything other than carpeting, and even doesn't like to sit on the cold kitchen floor without a towel under her butt.
