I would love to read what other might say because I am having the same problem. My thing is that when she was younger she use to give high 5 and paw and sit but now its like HELLO!!! she forgot and when I try to retrain her she thinks I'm playing with her LOL!!!! As far as treats I've noticed that my Roxy LOVES bill jac from Petsmart and or Nature's recipe treats... I just cut them up in 3 that way you have more to give... Treats go fast and its not cheap
