Well, I tried to get Casper "into the groove" so to speak first, playing a game of hold with a small dummy. The problem was he just knew I had an egg.... so he started throwing behaviours at me ..from "speak" to literally throwing the dummy back at me. Love him for it...
Oh crumbs. I daren't even try with Molls and Sam, the egg wouldn't get anywhere near the ground, or even be held in a mouth for a split second. Crunched and swallowed immediately
When I'm back from holiday I am DEFINITELY trying this with Pongo. It will either be success or disaster. Think I'd better do it outside.
I had a go and Molly was very reluctant to take the egg. I clicked & treated for a nose touch several times and then at last she took it. She only held it for a split second but I managed to catch it. We repeated and got up to a 2second hold before she spat it out, I missed the catch and it went splat! But no video so of course it didn’t really happen... (I might have another go tomorrow.)
