No, thats a good idea. Thank you :] I've actually thought about it, and I do do it when we're out for walks or at the dog park. She pretty much listens for that, but I don't want her to be dependant on treats so that if someday I don't have one she won't come. I don't know if that makes sense but anyway..Its not only a she won't come thing, its listening all together. If shes doing something like barking, she won't stop when you tell her.
She also doesn't 'give' stuff to you from her mouth. I had her ball the other day and would seem to be not interested in playing with it when I asked to take it, and I would say "Josie give" or w.e and then take the ball. At 1st she didn't want to let her precious goo incase I wanted to steal it with her. So as soon as she gave it to me, I held it for a min and told her what a good dog she was, then gave it back. I don't know if that teaches her anything by giving it back (does anyone know??) but it seemed to work so far.. for that time anyway. I don't want her to think im stealing her ball, then she may not want to give it to me at all. I figure if she get started with the ball which shes comfortable with me taking from her, she'll move onto knowing I don't want to steal her bones from her either. We'll hope anyway ;D
