Jordan, et al,

I'm sure whatever word/command you use will work. I use quiet. Having said
that, there are some dogs who are more verbal and will require more
reminders than others. Dogs are only human after all. (grin)

Her on my college campus we have a puppraising club.  With our pups we 
will do usually a verbal correction, such as "no barking".  We will 
catch them with this correction from the time we get them at 8 weeks.  
I've never had to use anything else witht he puppies, and they pick up 
this lesson quickly.  They are still young, and aren't perfect, but it 
works.  I use "no barking" with Viola also.  I've only heard her bark 
about four times, but the words make her upset and she will appologize 
(smile).

Jordan and Viola
