Social interaction and breakfast
Courage Booster
@Alex Lato That was a lot of fun with the courage booster! The clips show the first reps with the new scenario. Because she did so well I thought it would be fun to add some obstacles in between!

@Alex Lato Thank you! I was so excited when I realised she started going faster and faster! 🤩
Social breakfast
@Alex Lato some social interaction with breakfast!
Social breakfast
Food games and me being a bad trainer 😅
@Alex Lato The first food game with improved near misses was so great after the Kong hand! And then for some reason I decided not to treat her in that second rep. And way too many misses and not enough wins! And then it got worse and worse and I went on for way too long. This is not even the worst reaction, but it does show well how easy it is to lose the enthusiasm when you don't handle well 😅

@Alex Lato Thank you! It's really a weak points of me as a trainer to continue for too long to try to get that good rep. So tempting and also not useful!

@Marta Di Bari I try to remember to count treats to limit the number of reps 😂 It's really very unusual for a sighthound to be able to keep going and going like Winnie does. Poor girl will keep trying for me for basically forever when most would be done after a few reps. But I know latent learning is a big thing for her, so a few reps is really more than enough 🫣
Play?
@Alex Lato So as a reminder, I don't want barking because it makes my boyfriend uncomfortable. I also suspect it's more frustration than excitement. I'm not really sure if this is play to her or just annoying 😅 This video is from coming home after a walk. She wants her food. It's the easiest moment of the day to get interaction like this, but it's difficult for me to know if she likes it

@Alex Lato That's a good point, they cannot speak so we're always just interpreting! But I'm pretty confident about this bark not being a happy bark, she has only ever done this bark in scenarios where there's food expected but she's not getting it like expected. She's very attached to rituals. For example when she was injured we walked a small round. Then it took some time for her to get used to going straight instead of right. She would really stop there and not want to continue straight. After being used to going straight again she never looked at going right. So here she knows there will be breakfast, there have been all the other signs for getting breakfast and then I start doing something else. I think I should try to find a different moment to try out social play. It's just that this turns out to also the easiest moment of the day to get interaction like this. But it's not really fair to use the build up feelings of breakfast coming to try to interact. Thank you!
