Sunday we did another session with the tin. I started with letting her get it twice with the food still in it, then went to no food inside. There was no sign that she thought that was a problem. She was doing pretty good at picking up the tin and then dropping it into my hands. Then one time she picked it up and turned away from me before she dropped it. I waited and she picked it up and dropped it again. The third time she picked it up and turned toward me, so I was able to get my hands under it. After that she started picking it up and then seeking my hands to drop it. SMART GIRL!
This time we started right out with no food in it. Twice I accepted just picking it up get the ball rolling, then after that I wanted her to at least try to get it in my hands. You can see how twice she'd pick it up, but kept missing my hands. I just waited and let her sort out how to get it in my hands and get the reward. Clearly she has figured out what gets the reward, because after two times of taking multiple tries to get in in my hands and get the reward, the next time she was more deliberate about getting it into my hands. The final time I resisted the urge to make it easy for her and she brought it to my hands on her own!
I just can't help but love working with such a Smart Girl.
