 Teaching "speak" causes problems?
So Oliver can BARK... but he also knows the command "quiet." The problem is that he'll be quiet for a few minutes and then start back up again. I suppose consistancy is what he needs so everytime he barks we do the "quiet" commend and it works for a couple of minutes.
Anyone else have this problem?
He doesn't do it ALL day- just when he is in a "mood"
Also, would teaching him the "speak" command (which he doesn't knwo yet) only encourage barking since he would be rewarded for it? Or would it limit him barking to only happen when commanded?
I just don't want to open pandora's box here.
Any suggestions?
Thank you!!! |
