As for the NILIF training, I had to look it up as I was not familuar with the term, I do kinda train like that automatically, just never knew there was a name for it.
Then you're a natural!!! That just goes to show!

I hope those ideas will help.

DO you work with him when he's a tad hungry, like near dinner time or breakfast time? Sometimes that helps. Make sure the treats are tiny...pea sized. That's all they need and then they won't get too fat, or cut back a tad with their food. (eh-hem...just took Lyric to get weighed...vet said hes got love handles and can't feel his ribs. 113LB!!!!:eek: should be about 93....Woops! I never saw it coming. He looks so handsome and he's my perfect angel so how could anything be flawed? ROFLOL! So, he's on a diet.):cool:

Ok...here's a yummy treat recipie:
Your dog will jump through hoops for these.

1 container of chicken livers
1 egg
Puree in blender

Pour into mixing bowl and add 2 cups of oat flour (if you have it or regular flour)

Mix well and pour into greased 8x8 baking pan.

(I sprinkle a little fresh parmessan on top)

Bake in pre-heated 350 degree oven for about 1/2 hour or until sides pull away from edges of pan.

Cut into as tiny pieces as your wrists can take and cool. You can freeze some in baggies for later. Let your dog lick the pan and spoons when cool.

Also, does any one have any good "Truely Great" treats, Phoenix tends to get bored all the time with them, even though I switch them up a lot! I can never buy a large bag of treats as he looses interest in them when training, he's not picky at all, just not that food motivated I guess.
Well, here's another great bit of advice I got from reading Doberluv's articles - hot dogs/sausage, cooked and then chopped up into small treat-sized pieces. Man they LOVE it!! I do a kilo at a time, and then separate them into small quantities and freeze them. Then I just defrost what I need when I need it. Fantastic!

Phoenix I just want to say that I think you are doing great and your dog is lucky to have you. I'm sure you won't have any problems working through this. :)
