I taught Callie and JD to be quiet using "Zip it!". Very untraditional but they didn't respond to words like "Enough". It usually makes people laugh, too Here Decoy, Decoy, Decoy!

Randy Yes, I'm learning now that I should have changed my strategy instead of changing my command. I'd already used it with my rottie for several years and just continued it with my Mal.

Jamie Craig Webboard User Reg: 09-01-2009 Posts: 986 Loc: Munroe Falls, OH Offline	My dog knows "NOT HELPING!!!!" which is the take a few steps back and stop what you're doing/get out of my space command I used to say it when he was a puppy and would "help" with things like laundry (curling up in the basket), get underfoot while I was carrying things, "talk" or wiggle when I was brushing him or doing other general grooming things, etc. He caught on pretty quickly. My friends think it's hilarious because he'll be doing something and I'll say "not helping" and he'll back off and look "hurt" that I don't want his help XD https://www.etsy.com/shop/Blitzava

To me, the word is not important; compliance with the command is. Zip It is a command which they have learned means "stop what ever annoying behavior you are doing". What are you going to gain by going to another word when you have one that they understand and it works? You could have used "foofoo" for the command and as long as they comply - it is all good.

I began training "heel" but didn't do well and was not happy with how things were going. Found LB, read more, learned a bit more and changed to foos to retrain. So there IS a time to change commands for the same behavior, but not when they are doing fine on the word you chose. jmho.
