New Tricks

I recently taught Hiro how to "speak". I thought it was hard to teach him, but actually it was really easy! He's a fast learner.

  1. How'd you do it? How'd you do it? I have no idea how to teach Kit and Betsy to speak.

    1. Hi Gina!
      I started off by saying "speak" whenever he barked. Hiro rarely barks. But he will bark when I'm holding a treat for awhile before giving it to him. =P At the same time while I'm saying "speak" I would praise him and give him a treat. After that, I would then only give him a treat after he goes "ruff" ... I say "good boy!' and treat. *Repeat*

  3. Cute! We still have yet to teach Kobi how to 'speak'. We've done all the basic tricks with him but that's one we prob should try next. They are fast learners! I love it. :)
