I have a few kids that work with me and have to teach them to stop conversing......it does not give a clear picture. Short and sweet there is no confusion. I chuckle at people telling Fifi "no you must stop jumping on me" .........when DOWN says it all. Hard to teach dog sense when there is none...........but kids still do learn.
