Cody's tricks: speak, quiet, sit pretty and begging

[autumnbaby183]

wow he's so smart! how did you teach him speak/quiet and how long did it take? that's the trick that i really need to be able to teach because if my yorkie barks too much, the neighbours will complain. please reply!

@autumnbaby183 he didnt take that long to understand the concept. i actually barked with him until he barked. and when he did i gave a treat and praised him for it. after he realize that he gets treats for barking, he will slowly understand the word "speak". and when he gets good at speaking, you can start NOT rewarding him for speaking and instead rewarding him for being "quiet". just have review sessions with your dog everyday and be patient. good luck!

@kevinyu111 i think hes stuggling for the snack and knows he will get it if he does it. he has to hear me say it first or i wont feed him =D
