When she looks in your direction for the treat she will actually be making as close to eye contact with you as possible. Remember if if she doesn't look completely up, reward even a minor attempt. And then next time just "ask" for a little closer response.
Best of luck to you with your baby! |
OH! That's what you meant. Lily and I will definitely be trying that. We've been working on "Follow me" I'm hoping eventually it will turn into "heel" I hold a treat in my hand and have her follow me. then she has to sit at my heel to get her treat. It works well indoors. But outdoors she is still too distracted by bunnies, bicycles and humans
We're getting there, I think.
