I used to train Max with some of his food kibble. Lately, he'll still work for the treats, but spits them out. So he'll take a kibble- drop it and wait for next trick/treat- its odd. If I put the treats in his food bowl- no problem. I guess he wants something better- lol.
So far at 4 months he knows sit, lay down, paw, speak, quiet, cage, off and come- I'm having a hard time with stay and walking nice on a leash...but we'll get there.
He loves fetch, will bring back a toy, won't give it...if I try the trade for another toy- he tries for both in his mouth- lol. It's fun when he actually gets something.
Oh, I'm also teaching him nice- so my kids or I can actually pet his head without being bit- that's almost there!!
When the weather is nicer I need to work on car rides- it's hard to clean up all the puke when it's cold or rainy out.
