It seems as if he's in too much of a hurry, he gets them half a**ed.

He is a HUGE food hog and I think thats part of his problem. He knows he won't get a treat unless he gets it right but he still seems to be in too much of a hurry to get that treat.
I've tried using his toys as a reward but then he's not as interested and takes his sweet old time. I can use toys for rewards as long as the action is fast paced & involves more of a walking/running type movement like healing, jumping etc...

Slowly but surely we are working on it.

We may just be there mainly for the looks & obedience commands. lol
Will he work for praise? Adele gets very distracted by food too and sometimes (if she's in a fun mood) she works better for lots & lots of praise.
