Hi Todd,
Thanks for your reply. Your idea of getting the dog excited is great except that nothing I do gets her excited in that way. However, before I saw your reply, I was sitting at the computer and suddenly there was a bark behind me. Immediately I said Speak and Out at the same time and headed for the back door where Candy is teathered for outdoor duties. I had been trying beforehand to get her to speak by saying speak and me barking whenever we went to the door to go out. Apparently it finally sunk in and she has done it several times. She doesn't do it everytime, so I still have to anticipate her wants, but at least she did do it. So I will still need to keep saying speak and out to try to reinforce the command in her mind. Again, thanks for your reply.
Toni
