I was thinking about this a little more and came to the conclusion that you usually don't ask your children to obey (although sometimes we may use those words). We command dogs and animals to obey when we are training them.
I would have to think this might be similar to what Rabbi Sacks is saying.
We don't want to train our children or others like animals, we want them to listen, to hear, to understand, to internalize, and to respond.
Not that they always do, but at least that is the intent.
