| I think they start to get lazy for a while..... they have so much on the go that the extra 2 steps would take away from play time. Twinkie started doing that for a while, so I would either grab her when she did this an put her all the way in or I would give her the "eh eh" noise. I think he will get over it

What you are describing is what I believe is called "extinction" of a conditioned behavior. It usually occurs where there is a lack of reinforcement. | |
