JM,,, I got to smile when I read your post only because it reminds me of when we have to train Asim the "Quiet and or SHHHH". Especially with the feral cats and squierls where in the yard. It took us a while to have him follow the command but it is well worth it now! Seeing that his "look out" window is in the kitchen and DJ's bedroom is right off of it.. Good luck...
