Thank you for your response! I have been doing something very similar to this and it has been helping - but my husband and daughter love to hear her talk, especially when my daughter is petting her and saying 'I love you Domino', she almost starts squealing and talking at the same time. She does it at play time, only a little lower, but her "tail" is wagging the entire time. And I agree with you for not correcting her, that is what we were doing when she was a puppy...nothing like watching your 7 year old pet on a rottweiler puppy and the puppy starts "talking" which I took as growling!!! Oh well, at least we know better now! Sorry about Ripley...our Ojo went January 2007 and it still affects us - especially when Domino is acting up...Ojo did not have a dominant bone in her body!!
