Any Cool Tricks?

[Nixie]

we're working on trying to get him to speak. That's a difficult one, because he NEVER barks, very very rare that he does. He might if he gets really excited during play time or maybe if he's "conversing" with the dogs behind us. We can't seem to get him to do it on command though. Any pointers???

I haven't tried this since I am not sure I want Samantha barking, but since Boxers are creatures of example (at least so far mine has been) you COULD try to have have him sit and then while he's looking at you, and ready to learn, you could say speak, and bark a little.... If he makes even a little sound when you say speak then you could give him a treat. Just keep trying they are bound to get it... "Speak", *bark bark bark*, "Speak".... That's how I would try it. Since Samantha only nods when she REALLY wants something I like that a little better and I used that method... "Say Yes", *nod a lot*, "Sany Yes"... she still doesn't do it EVERY time, but she knows how to do it and does it when she REALLY wants that treat hahaha It's also a trick not TOO many people have seen a dog do.

Lots of Luck,
Nixie
