[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 468612, member: 11791"] Here's a different track to think about... Ever heard of clicker training? Clickers are CHEAP. What you do is train the dog that "click" = "treat". Then, you "click" every time he does the thing you're looking for (for example, sitting OUTSIDE the kitchen door...) - the click gives you enough time to get a treat out, because the dog knows its coming (you have about 3 seconds generally - once they catch on to the click=treat, you have about 30 seconds. I keep the clicker around my neck if the dogs are underfoot. I don't like them at my feet if I'm working in the Kitchen, because I'm too much of a klutz and will trip over them... so, allow them to be on the edges, and work on clicker training... sit, down, stay, beg... click/treat. Their eyes don't leave me... just waiting for the next click! What this does is changes how Ace sees YOU - as in, if I work for this nice lady, I get really nice treats. Treat tip... get some really cheap chicken wieners. Way healthier than official doggie treats. [/QUOTE]
