So I was working the 'speak' with Asia down in the basement and decided to try it with my 10 year old Jake. He offered up just about every behavior he knew-flipping to heel, down, sit, stand etc. He would bark once in a while and I would mark and reward but I could tell it wasn't clicking with him. When I did the video of Asia barking on command Jake started barking in his crate. So, I took him out and put Asia up and bingo! He was barking on command. I'll include him in this week's 'speak' video. There's no question in my mind that dogs can learn behaviors from each other very easily. Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks!!
Our 'quiet' is still a hot mess and I will probably upload the video I have so you can see it. e-collar is in my pocket but you can tell I'm correcting her by the little head tilt. My marks are terrible but we'll keep trying.
