Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80788266 Have them in your hand, he’ll smell them, but just go for a meander in the yard. Then go back into the house. Later, come out, again with treats in your hand but go to a different place in the yard. Break up the pattern. Keep quiet. Right now he’s got the upper hand. Surprise him, confuse him a bit. By leaving him out of the established pattern he’ll become more willing to take a risk and trust you. Persistence. New patterns. Patience. Yep, that’s what I doing now. :) Learn something new each day,,,, And love your country!!! FJB |
