Treats will come to you, in scenarios like this you don’t need to go for them.”

I moved the bowl for the benefit of the video angle, from the beginning it was between my knees.

Recall after a tricky stop. Some work on our morning walk.

And of course also practicing how to take the harness off.

Your pyjama clad trainer strikes again! 😅 Practicing putting on a harness like a big girl ❤️

Orient towards, treat. Head towards harness, harness on, treat. Keeping still, leg through harness, treat. Keeping still, harness tightened around body, treat. Keeping still, harness clipped, treat.

I don’t work on ”eye contact” for the sake of eye contact, but here as just another behaviour than ”go for the hand that holds the treats”. Twiggy is learning that doing stuff leads to treats and she’s learning my verbal marker. And theme of the week is shifting between treats and toys!

Tessa’s and Twiggy’s feeding schedules don’t match right now. Tessa gets her dinner undisturbed and Twiggy is busy sorting out a lickimat.

Building treat eating behaviour. Twiggy loves food and her little mouth goes everywhere without much precision.

This is just ridiculous.
