Teaching your poodle to talk 🤣 ???

My Standard Poodle is more “verbal” than my prior poodle. He sits, stares, and mumbles when it’s time for me to get up in the morning so I don’t need an alarm clock. Lately I’ve been showing him lots of TikTok videos of Huskies ”talking” to their owners which we both enjoy a lot. When we watch, I say talk when the husky is talking so he can get to associate the word talk with the sounds. This week I have been asking him to “talk” and he sits down, wags his tail and concentrates and mumbles 🤣 then he gets a very enthusiastic “Good Boy,” and a treat. Today, I asked him to do the talk and say “I love you“ and he mumbled back, 3 mumbles. I don’t care what it sounds like, I’m just looking for him to mumble something at this point. Has anyone been successful at teaching their poodle to “talk”? and just to be clear, I don’t mean bark, we already have loud bark and soft bark down using hand signals.

My JRT would say “I don’t know!” I would said Zoe where is the lizard?!?!! And she would look right at me and say “I don’t know!!” My husband says she was just making noise but other family and friends heard it, and it was the same every time.
