Breaking News!!

So, I decided I needed to work on training my daughter's dog, Adonis, since he lives here also. I crated the girls and worked on teaching Adonis "touch" and "mat". And oh my was Brianna creating a fuss in her crate. Kristyn took over with Adonis on "touch" while I "shushed" Brianna and gave her kibble as a reward. She took it... she ate it... she waited for more...

Alright, I decided to see if Brianna really wanted to work. In the crate goes Adonis, out comes Brianna. I pulled out the mat and sat down. She went right to it, I clicked and tossed her a kibble. She ate it. We did it again, she ate it, and again and again!!

What's the big deal you're thinking? Well then, you haven't been talking to me regarding training have you? Brianna isn't food motivated... at all. This is a girl that I spent countless hours just attempting to relax her enough to take a treat in class. This is a girl that spends the first half-hour of class maybe taking a treat. Mind you, those treats are usually - liver brownies, chicken cutlets, string cheese, roast beef.

 She'll tackle you for them and charlie bears and other assorted goodies at home, in the yard, maybe in the car. But kibble??? As a training treat?? Not if your life depended on it!!

I'm just wow, I ended the session on a good note and can only hope it wasn't a fluke!
