“Get mom” is when I specifically send Trix-C to wake up my mom in the middle of the night when I need help with something
- We started with the “end point.” She had to nudge my mom while she was laying down on her bed. and for Trix-C this was easy because mom placed her food under or around her and trix-C dug in.
- Then we started moving away from the bed and mom and said “get mom”
- Trix-C started doing well, but toward middle of the process she begun to loose interest. So we begun to use tastier food. After that Trix-C was very interested
- We begun to move quickly away from my mom’s room to living room to my bedroom.
- When we started using the tastier food, we only did it 2 times a day.
- The next step was to teach it while I was actually on my bed because for dogs if you change even the slightest thing they think is a new thing
- It’s been a slow process but its been well worth the wait.
