I'm trying to teach my dog to speak on command, but she doesn't quite get what I want her to do. She tries different things, but cant get it without my help. When she gets close, like whilnes or makes frustrated noises, I reward her noises and try to get her closer to a bark. I work with her. If she can't speak yet today when I say it, should I take the belt to her and beat the tar out of her?
