Help me with my stubborn dog please!

[LifeisaGarden]

I've tried everything to teach our dog to speak. Just a little bark is all I ask for but all she does is make whiny sounds.

She knows how to do all the normal things they should know like sit, stay, come, & shake. She also knows how to give a high five, roll over, she goes to her crate on command and when we point our finger at her and say "Bang!" She falls over and plays dead.

She's great at barking. She barks all the damn time. The main thing I want her to do is to bark and stop barking on command.

Any suggestions?

So now the "know it alls" identity is finally revealed

I'm confused. So the dog can't bark or she is great at barking?

[LifeisaGarden]

If I made that confusing, I'm sorry. Yes she can bark. I want her to bark and stop barking on command.

A problem we have is she barks a lot when we let her out. I don't mind a little barking but I think it annoys the neighbors. She's usually let out for about 5 minutes at a time so she doesn't do it for long but it still bothers me.

I'd recommend one of those electric bark stop collars to get her to stop barking on demand...some will say they are cruel, but you don't need to zap the poo out of her with it...just a gentle little warning and she'll learn quick. Borrow one from someone if you can...they'll learn it real quick.

to make her bark on demand is a whole different story...just practice, practice and then practice. Make sure to reward her everytime.

You don't have to get past the word 'she' to figure out why you're having problems.

the dogs 2 houses down bark constantly...I want to punt them into the creek

I don't know how to train them though... sorry I couldn't be of more help :)

[LifeisaGarden]

To be honest, I don't think it bothers my neighbors as much as it bothers me. They are usually pretty good about telling us stuff.

Like I said she's only outside for about 5 minutes at a time. She's a drama queen & doesn't like to be too hot or too cold so she prefers being inside.

I just wish she weren't so stubborn.

She'd probably just roll her eyes at him.

Is Dan accidentally logged in as Liag?

That would explain a lot

[Dpantherman]

nope, I can't even keep my dog from eating his own poo.

If she knows all the other stuff, you should just point your finger at her and shoot when she is barking so that she will play dead and shut up.
