Finally videoed some food games with Sally. Before I got her tugging with a toy I started with food games. In a small room and I was on my knees = made myself small. I had Sally chasing my hand that had a chicken heart in it. That was a few weeks ago though. Sally is a picky eater and dry food won't work for those games as she neatly chews on each treat. It takes her forever to finish her meals. Anyhow here I am using some soft dog treats (from a sausage) for the food throws and also for food chasing games. I played those games with chicken hearts initially but it's a bit messy and they easily slide out of my hand. Bit a tricky with the grass and leaves but it's this time of year.

5 reinforcers: - Food (soft - she is a picky eater) - Toys - Running & chasing - Spinning (on the spot to the right or left) - Anticipation to see one of our cats. Not sure if this is a reinforcer though. However it helped me to build her toy play. Social play Sally is a sensitive Border Collie and very sensitive to pressure. We do best with some running and chasing where she jumps up on me and I then softly push her back to start the running and chasing again. I am attaching a video that first shows Sally playing with Jim who is only 3 months younger and shortly after a short running & chasing social play session.
