Obedience

We have tried a variety to disciplines and techniques to help Bella learn obedience. To say the least, very little works. Some time ago we tried a sticker chart without much success. Recently we thought we'd give it another go. So what we thought it would take a week or two, ended up taking almost a month to accomplish, but she was determined to earn all her stickers. We told her when all the spaces were full we could go to Wal-Mart and purchase a toy with her sticker page.
When it came time to chose a toy I told her some toys cost 1 page, 2 pages, and even a 3 page sticker toy! She had the choice to hold onto it or "spend" it now. Of course she had to spend it! We are very proud of her as she has taken a step forward with some incentive to obey and want to make the right choices!
Way to go Bella!
**note post blog...I did not know (but Bella did) this toy comes with treats to feed the dog, then you push his tail and he poops them out! Oy Vey!! Guess I'll look a little closer at the next toy.**
