@Alex Lato I think this is better for the pushy game!

@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 😅

Hi @Alex Lato Here is a little box feeding session with Shine this morning. Cheers Karen

Recording of Live Q&A- Thank you taking part and all the questions. that made it interesting :)

I’m using a toy, because with food I wouldn’t even bother starting 😄 I’m careful not to put pressure on him with my body language and keep moving backwards, also deliberately avoid intense movements so that he doesn’t shut down. He offers either backward movement or a heel position. Eventually, he squeezes out a few little “ehhh” barks, and I reward those. I don’t take the toy away — I exchange it for food that I toss on the ground and finish everything with food chasing. If I manage to activate this sweet pup, it’ll be my biggest win of the year 😄
