I agree with everyone here. It's not a good idea to teach your dog Banana. You could however teach him a secret word that means speak, or maybe even snarl. That should be plenty scary.

I understand why you would be put on the defensive, but you'll soon realize it's best to not be too quick on the keyboard. Phrase your questions & responses carefully. If you love your dog, don't give up on this forum. There's so much to be learned here. Members of this forum are so helpful & supportive once you get to know them. Give it a chance.
