| Speak Softly Does anyone know how to teach your yorkie how to speak softly? I can see from this video the finished production but how do you initiate the initial soft bark? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwbSh_6yN5Q |

| Doubt this will help, but I will share anyhoo. I have never trained one to speak softer, but I have trained to them to speak louder on command. I start with training speak. Then if they just gruff or quiet bark when I tell them to speak I say "speak bigger" and give a treat only when they bark louder. You may be able to do the same, except treat only for softer. Not sure.
