How can you teach a dog to speak?

[Doli1]

Hi,

My dog rarely speaks, so it's hard to teach her to speak. Does anyone have a good method that may help us?

do you mean bark, and is this your whippet your asking about again?

 

[Doli1]

Yes, and yes. I only have a whippet. She's more than enough trouble!

lol in that case your posting your questions in the wrong section, you should be posting them in general disscution whippets lol.

no idea on how you get them to "talk" i quite like the fact they are not very vocal as we stay in a 4in a block so i know the neighbours will not get annoyed with us lol

try posting your question in the whippet section and you should get some better answers.

Bluebell is very quiet, but have taught her to speak by reacting big time to the slightest noise that she made, she now speaks on command...and very cute it is too :- "

 

[rls22]

I'm not quite sure why you would want her to 'speak'!

I am relieved that ours are generally quiet - although Holly has become much more vocal since having the pups :- "

Teaching to speak is a good way to keep a noisy one quiet! They will tend to do it on command as apposed to all the flipping time...hasn't worked on my Tibetan Spaniel...she mutters under her breath as she knows she's not allowed to bark (w00t)

lol :lol:

Poppy barks occasionally, if you can call it a bark! She does baby barks!!

Its quite funny but we like it that she is mostly quiet. Might teach her speak but not really that bothered!

Gypsy only barks if there is food left on the work top in the kitchen :blink:

amber speaks on command. :- "

the best way to teach them is to find something that will make her bark.

(ambers is to play with her fav toy.... and she barks more when she cant get to it.

so i tied her up, and squeeked the toy.

when she barked i said speak and she got the toy and a treat.

it took all of 5 mins.

now her fav party trick is to speak.

she also does it with a hand command, and various other crwod pleasers! lol
