Ozzy, a min pin, doesn't like to bark at us so we are working on training him more with the speak command. He is really got with gimme paw and sit. I've gotten him to lay down a couple times but he gets so excited it's hard to keep him focused. Here is a cute video of us trying the speak training. Please give the video a like. Thanks https://youtube.com/shorts/IIZR3W9tVN8?si=geohTya76NdSF93n
I wouldn't teach it to him bark either at you or anything else if he is a naturally quiet dog. Remember the saying 'be careful what you wish for'
