[QUOTE="THAT Gurl, post: 4240773, member: 45551"] I only use treats when we are training for tricks. When we do the "serious" stuff, they get a serious amount of petting and "attaboys". I used to use a clicker to mark behaviors but I've found that using whatever unique word (or sound) for my command but I'm not coordinated enough to handle a clicker, a dog and keep myself upright when I trip over the 2 left feet I have. 🤷🤦 So now I just use "Good *insert whatever command they did properly here" and lots of loving. I also don't have dedicated training sessions more than once a day. Those sessions are only 10-15 minutes long and are usually for breaking down a wanted behavior into the smaller steps before we actually start working in the sound for the command. Each dog, actually each pet, regardless of species, is different, of course, and I love them all. But this guy ... Man ... He is stinking adorable! I am SO glad I got him. I watched Dawg and him in the kennel this afternoon for a little bit and he FINALLY got Dawg to play "tag" with him for a bit. He would boop Dawg with his nose and then RUN down the side of the kennel. Dawg would chase after him and boop Snoop and BAM!! they would throw on the brakes, whip around and then Snoop would chase Dawg! 🤣🤣🤣 They are both dead to the world right now! Lol [/QUOTE]
