make the giving a treat something that is fun
get down on the floor with her and with a happy high voice give her treats and talk to her
Pet her and tell her what a Good Girl she is .... this will transform the setting and do this a few times before you start the actual training sessions
then it will be something she will look forward to and her interaction with you will be much better |
I like your ideas!
I think i will start with this tonight =)
Though once i start giving her treats, she gets sooooo distracted looking for more that training time is basically over. Its hard to get her to stop sniffing the floor for more!
