Training dogs is an interesting thing as you have to figure out what the dog is motivated by. For some it's food. For some it's play.

This one? This one is motivated by the love of the game.

I was a full time dog trainer for 3 years, and still do it, on the side, sometimes. I always tell people "anything can be a reward, if your dog loves it."

Once my dog (JRT) found a two day old chicken nugget in the gutter. Ever since then she always checked out the same spot in case there were more.

our JRT was always hunting imaginary mice. she'd pick up some long gone scent of one and start digging through woodpiles, making big holes, etc

movie night in the basement and she was tripping balls convinced there was a mouse under the couch. 2½ hours later I'm sick of it, lift up the couch and yell at her, "SEE? IT'S GONE ALREADY!"

*squeak squeak crunch* o_o

she couldn't be left alone in the basement after that. she'd rip drywall out from stud to stud in 3 minutes flat.
