Gimme would need to be able to check them for odor and then move on if none was there. <br /><br />Generally I don't think Joyce "gets" incremental training in the larger sense. She knows what NACSW has taught her, but outside of that narrowly "approved" method, she doesn't have any other ideas. She just doesn't seem to be good problem solving. So I've learned to just push on and do what I believe is going to benefit me and Gimme.<br /><br />And no, I don't plan to repeat that "test". After all, she passed so there's no value in repeating it.

I have seen them done before but never personally felt that they were worth practicing as Elli has not ever demonstrated *focus* to the point of it being negative. <br /><br />I think you were right to test Gimme, though, even though she'll probably never see that sort of set up in a trial environment. I wouldn't make a habit of it, but you already knew that, right? :)Ximenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15149363758149608097noreply@blogger.com
