    .... one box in a mouth!
    Catching up on emails after being ill and came across Pippa's article on the '4 paws in a box' game. OH had just had a delivery so we had the perfect sized box for the job and decided on a little post-dinner fun.
    No problems approaching and touching the box. No Mira, next step is not lifting the box and taking it to your special chew corner! Not that keen on putting a paw inside the box. I think maybe it is a little small after all.
    Oh well, we had fun trying, and even if she seemed puzzled as to why she was getting treats for being interested in a box that she would have been interested in anyway, she was more than happy to humour her humans :D

    Will try again tomorrow.

    Ah, bless. They have to learn the learning game, just keep at it.

    If I put an object down, Charlie immediately starts trying to find out what "pays". He'll even do it with no object. Sit, down, walk backwards...what going to pay out? It's lovely when they "get it" though.

    She was trying all sorts of things, just not the right one in this case :D

    I tried today. Rolo just kept looking at me as to say wtf? I will try again tomorrow but before I put it down I will pay attention to the box to get his interest.
