I learned that any dog can be trained with patience........ sometimes it takes a long time, but the reward of seeing the dog respond to your commands is priceless

This reminds me of trying to get my dog S.D. to 'speak'..... he learned all of his tricks really quick, but 'speaking' just wasn't his thing....... I would hold a slice of salami (his favorite treat) up and say "Speak!" over and over but he just couldn't get it....... he would get pissed and start doing all of the tricks I had taught him in a row..... play dead, roll over, low crawl, drop dead, ect........ then he would get all flustered and bark out of frustration, and I would give him his treat....... he was confused at first but after a few days of driving him crazy for that slice of salami he figured it out all it took was patience...... he wasn't stupid, he just didn't know what the fuck I wanted him to do After that he would speak anytime I said 'speak!'
