Thanks! I have been doing all of that except holding the treat in eye contact. I'll try that when I get home!! Thanks!!!! As for "speak" I have been trying to have him "sit" then I say speak and I bark at him then repeat it as bunch. Maybe I'll keep trying with the treat at eye level.

My oldest brother taught his dog to whisper, at first I didn't believe him until he showed me and I must say, its amazing. I taught my cat to beg, that also a good one.

Its a big hit with all our family and friends that come over. Oh, I also point my finger as a gun when I'm saying it.

I cant wait to teach Porscha the Bang Bang trick.... thanks for the tip.

Diesel ( 9 months old) can sit, lay down, speak, shake, high 5, high 10, stand up and walk, and rings a bell to go outside. I am going to the bang bang..that sounds really cool.

We have tought Brutis to sit, speak, jump and are currently working on "come", that seems to be the hardest one for him so far. I'm going to try the "bang bang" this weekend too. We got Brutis to speak by having him sit, then giving the command to speak. At first he wanted to jump up, but when he did we did not give him the treat and just repeated the command.

My 6 month old boxer is still peeing in my apartment. He gets regular walks but still goes at home. How did you teach him to ring the bell to go outside?

Bailey rings the bell to go out too. We just made sure that we always rang it (even when he didn't) and then said the same phrase that meant he was going to the bathroom. (Which is...you have to do Tee Tee’s? my husbands family word for pee). Anyways, eventually he just figured out that when he rang the bell he would be let out. I think its mostly about consistency...oh it also didn't hurt that my cats figured out what it meant way before Bailey did. He watched them a lot too.
