Dog Health Questions: Dog training... help me!?

I have been trying to teach my dog to speak, but he's mostly a quiet dog and doesn't bark that much. When I try to teach him he doesn't seem to get it and doesn't make a sound, how can i teach him to speak?

Dog Training Tips For Hard-To-Train Dogs

Recommended Answer:
It's hard to teach a dog to speak when he hasn't discovered his voice yet. Try saying 'speak' and then making howling sounds and repeating this with your dog. Sometimes dogs get excited by this and join in. If you're able to get your dog to 'sing along' with you he'll soon connect the command 'speak' with barking. Although he's usually quiet, when he does bark, say 'speak' so that he connects his voice with the command.

Good luck!
