What is your suggestion for getting them to keep their eye on you for direction rather than the food? I put the food up to my eyes and say look, making eye contact. Not sure it that's right or not.
We're following you on FB/youtube!  So fun! |
Yup thats the right way to start training for look! or at leas thats how we do it. You start with that method then when they sit you can start putting your hand near their face then point to your face really fast and say "look" and when your eyes meet you treat them. That way you dont need food in order for them to look. I have used squeaker toys too to get there attention. i say look! and if they dont turn around i squeak the toy and when they look treat immediately.
Great job on the training!
Keep working at it and make sure to keep it fun.
