Default I'm having trouble phasing out treats

I know about the lottery system, where they randomly get rewarded for the trick.

The problem is Lola knows she's supposed to get a treat for doing a trick, and if she doesn't get it she just sits and stares at me, refusing to do anything until she gets it. I've tried waiting it out and it just doesn't work, she'll either continue staring at me or walk away.

She also does this with grooming, after I put her on the floor she stands there waiting until I give her her treat.

She's known most of her tricks long enough (months) and does them reliably, so I should be able to phase out the treats.
