Vito Experiment- Session 22
The no food/toys obedience experiment has continued! Slowly due to lack of daylight. But have done 22 sessions now.
At this point we don't have any consistency of whether Vito chooses to work or not. But when he does work it's very engaged, fairly high energy, and he rarely checks out now once he has decided to start. Precision isn't fully there.
A lot of has evolved into the dumbbell being a reward. Not the direction I was planning on taking it but maybe it is the best route for Vito. I let him carry the dumbbell around through a lot of the work so it's still a lot more personal interacting than just fetching.
