Ava loves Schmachos! Utterly loves Schmackos!
When Ava came to us we had no idea what sort of training she had. She didn't respond to 'sit', 'down', 'stay', 'wait', 'come', etc. We have been using Schmackos in training as rewards. It took a few days of applying gentle pressure to the rump whilst saying 'Sit' before she got the general idea. On Tuesday, a friend was round and said to a sitting dog 'down', and she did it!
Ava has started sitting at the first hint of treats being around, and we are no longer rewarding 'sit' or 'come'. Instead 'down' gets treats.
Earlier we played a game of 'Find it'. A treat was placed in a muffin tin and all the holes covered by balls of paper. It requires a few mighty sniffs to locate the treat, and then pushing the paper aside to uncover it. This game went down well.
