If there is one think I know I have done well, it is that I have trained one of my dads to know when I need, or more correctly, want a treat.
When my dads are eating their meal at the kitchen table and they have finished without giving me taste of their meal, I gently lay my head on my dad’s lap (this is the dad I have trained the best) and look up at him.
With a little whining, in a very few minutes, he gets up, goes to the treats area, and gives me my well-deserved treat. Mission accomplished.
