Whoever suggested a yogurt-stuffed frozen Kong - thank you!

Anyone who has followed my wild ride with Rey knows every little step with her is a big one. I keep trying to incorporate positive training and a lot of patience with her (though sometimes I'd like to smack her little black lips), and the Kong stuffed with plain yogurt then frozen has become a wonderful "nighty night" positive reinforcer. She LOVES it. I'm glad I got her two Kongs. The black one is her "play Kong" and the red one is her "nighty night Kong." I put her up in the crate every night about the same time and the whining stopped when I started giving her the frozen Kong and saying it was time to go "nighty night." Now when I say it's time to go "nighty night," she DIVES into her crate awaiting her frozen Kong and is quiet all night. I have no idea how long it takes her to suck out all the frozen yogurt, but she settles in with it.
