Royce is now 5mths. and has become very vocal and hyper.
I luv playing with him but whenever I try to stop he barks at me. or whenever he wants something he barks and it can be really annoying. How do I train him to stop barking on command??
I've tried to teach him speak... and he get's it a little but when we tell him quiet he doesn't care!!
HELP... his barking is too much!!

He may be going through a stage at that age and will out grow it.  I know that Zig at that age would love to run around like crazy and just carry on barking.  He doesn't do it much now except when both dogs are playing together.

I think that is a good question. Does anyone have any ideas on how to teach your dog to shush and how to bark on comamand? I can see where that would come in handy.
