Dear Dog

[Trek420]

I've offered her some; she sniffs them and then goes back to looking for those dastardly squirrels!

Ok, so that's not what she'll "work for". Oh well.

The trick may be find what she will "work for", hide in pocket, ask for the "wait" and quick with praise and high value reward.

You might even be able to use squirrels as a treat! No, not that way.

You always have "life rewards". My mutt had an odd fascination with storm grates. So if she wants to dash and sniff one or I just know she will that she has to do something for me; a quick sit, "watch me", wait ... sumthin' then a "good dog!" and she's off to the grate with what she wants to do as the reward.

With timing it's your walk and her training. We found that to be fun on both ends of the leash.
