He caught on to QUIET after that and I use both commands with him regularly so he's got plenty of opportunity to practice! He's known SPEAK since he was about 4 months old and QUIET since about 6 months. He's a year and a half now. Good luck!
Thanks dear. If my boyfriend walls in the room he doesn't have to say anything and she won't make a peep but if it's me I'll be sitting they're like quiet quiet please be quiet lol
