Day 3

During our training session today, I tried putting a treat into the toilet paper tube, to see if I could encourage more tooth contact on the tube & less nose contact. Success!

Even better, I could see that she kept trying to figure out what to do to get the treat after I stopped clicking-&-treating for nose-only contact. She doesn't always stick with it & try to figure the game out when the rules change like that (which isn't a mean trick -- that's how we challenge her brain & move the training forward), so that was just great to see.

Here she is, eating a well-deserved dinner (out of a food puzzle toy -- also a good way to challenge her brain):

Next step: getting her to consistently take the tube between her teeth.

Please help us take our next step toward our goal of raising $700 to support the quality health care at Lyon-Martin! And don't forget that every donor gets their own autographed picture of Mrs. Zoey Pickles herself. Please click here to support our project!
