Hi there and thanks for the post.

Getting a dog to speak is one of the hardest things to teach your dog to do.

The best way i have had luck in doing it is this. Try and get Candy very very excited. Most dogs will bark eventually when they get excited. When she does start barking give her the command you want her to learn to bark to.

Keep saying it over and over as she is barking. When she stops get her more excited again and give the command.

This will take a great deal of time and repetition to get her to get the idea. It is often hard for the dog to learn barking when you move from getting them excited to just with the command.

Give her time to learn. This is a great topic for everyone else out there to chuck in some ideas about.......

good luck

Todd
