[nagdu] Teaching your dog to speak

[the Pawpower Pack]

Hi Chassity,

Teaching a dog to bark is easy, however you should understand that  
barking is a very self-rewarding behavior and it can be very easy to  
teach your dog to bark and not have an "off switch" so to speak.  This  
can lead to you having a dog who barks for any reason.

Are you D/deaf/hard of hearing?  If you need to be alerted when  
someone knocks at your door, teaching your dog a sound alert task  
could be more productive.

With all that said, teaching your dog to bark, if it is really  
something you want to do, can be done pretty easily.

Good luck,Rox and the Kitchen Bitches
