I had another dummy training today with Wesha and she did so well! I am so happy because only a few weeks ago, it wasn't going so well at all. Wesha was losing interest, I was getting frustrated. And we both didn't have fun anymore. Wesha liked playing, but as soon as she got the feeling she had to "work", she didn't like it anymore.
What helped us getting back on track?
- lots of help and ideas from our trainer: Jolanda. Thank you!
- we did a lot of playing during one of the trainings, without asking much of Wesha. That brought back the fun for both of us.
- I bought a new toy (small, soft, disk-shaped, fake fur thing), that I didn't give Wesha to play with. I do take it in my hands often, play a bit with it alone and make it interesting for her. She never gets to play with this toy at home, only during dummy training
- we started to hide the dummy/toy and Wesha loves searching
The fun came back for both of us and suddenly Wesha seems to "get it" too. I am very happy and also very proud of Wesha.
