Nebo is a *very* quiet dog also. He knows how to speak on command now, and he'll howl if we howl with him...that's about the only time you'll hear him make a peep. He doesn't bark "at" things...like, he'll get excited for the door..people..dogs...but he just gets excited, doesn't bark. Now Reggie on the other hand....I need an off switch for him!

The way I taught him was I barked my head off trying to get a reaction out of him. He looked at me like I was an idiot for a while, but he finally made one little woof...click/treat...eventually he caught on. I looked like a complete idiot while doing it, but it worked.
