Well, I'm here to tell ya, I can relate. My little Zhoie went to good manners puppy class at 5mos. She too didn't take treats nor could she tolerate the sound of even a quiet clicker. Needless to say, she was the belle of the ball only because she wanted to socialize with the other pups. That was the best part of class for us, as she doesn't get to play with any small dogs. My girlie only eats her food and takes nothing else.
Zhoie would not participate in class, but training at home now and knowing the proper techniques has been great. Now we train with praise and toys as a reward. No clicker involved.
GOOD LUCK! |
