I heated up some frozen chicken breasts last night and cut them up in tiny pieces and did some training with him. He has now learned to sit! YAY! And we played chase all over the house. He had a BLAST with that one. I have also changed my demeanor by being upbeat and excited. He looks at me with that tilted head look like I have just lost my mind, but it seems to be working. 
My husband is off this weekend, so we shall see how much progress I have made. |
He's now thinking you are a fun person and making his life more interesting and exciting. It doesn't take much to totally fake dogs into going along with what we want - they are such willing participants if we get all happy and there are smiles, excitement and treats, training, activities and fun. Keep it up and play fetch, toss his ball, play some tugowar, hunt for the hidden treat, etc., and keep his life interesting, busy learning and active and he'll be your best buddy!
