Yes! I would open her mouth gently and give her a treat (piece of chicken). Then she accepted the handling. Next, after two days of that, I would give the command "Open" and she would get a treat immediately. I kept working on this from 12 weeks old to 7 months old. I used a hand signal for open (looks like forming the letter "L" with the intention of her doing a Lip Sync for any movies of her "Talking" even if no sound came out.

Then she started to make a noise... when she stretched...

I keep watching this over and over. I have a cairn terrier puppy and I want to teach him to talk. Any tips?

Stage #2 training:

the previous message explains how she would Open her mouth on command. Verbal or hand signal.

THEN... as she would make a noise, any noise other than barking, I would praise like crazy and "jackpot" the treats... shovel them... so she really became motivated to repeat that target behavior.

yawning: she made a noise, and I told her "Good girl!"

I am convinced that dogs are reincarnated humans.

She really is a republican. I think she is saying UM UM

SO cute

Awesome. I know my little bugger will do well with it. He makes funny noises all the time even when just seeing an unfamiliar object out of curiosity or while playing he'll talk to his toys and of course my other dog. He's also taking to learning commands very well. He's my first cairn and I'm quite happy that I was able to get one.

I can't believe I'm among the first to see this. Only 50 views? I think this is really cute and I like your dog's enthusiasm for the new President -Elect!
