    Hi all,

    Mindy is learning "off" today (as in, Off the couch!") and she barked each time she was told, almost as though she thought off meant speak! :cwl:

    She figured it out, she's a quick learner when food is involved - but was just curious since she hardly ever barks: Think this was frustration? Obstinance? Anyone else have this happen?

    She's a great girl and I just ignored the barking - completely diverted my attention and turned my back. Then she got the point :).

    Barking can mean excitement - she could just have been getting into the "game". Best to ignore it, as you did, and hopefully it will diminish. Glad she learned quickly!
