Wordless Wednesday: Motivation

Rookie's favorite reward is getting a 'bite'. It's his highest motivator - even better than food :). He considers the sleeve the best toy ever!

Here's a recent video of his first session learning to go around a blind (for the blind searches in IPO1). He'll do pretty much anything for a bite :).

  3. Right now praise and hugs with a high pitched voice seems to do the trick for my two! Happy New Year
