We have been working with Apollo on "light" NIFL training. When I say light I mean, he sits before we go through a door. He sits before we feed him.
Right now when we go through a door he will sit until I open the door. On ocassion Apollo has reacted to the command before Rocky.
However, when I feed him he will also sit, but it is not for long. I have tried to place my hand in front of him/on his chest to increase the time he is in his sit, but he still jumps up. Any suggestions for keeping him in a sit longer, (right now I would like to have him sit until I can put his food bowl down. I will gradually increase the time between putting the bowl down and releasing him, but how do I increase it now?
