Way to go, Bear!
Congratulations, it must be heartwarming to see her getting active & happy. Rewards don't always have to be food treats - most dogs welcome attention & toys as much as edibles. Star prefers something that squeaks over anything else, and I'm working with my "Mr.Chubbs" to be less food-oriented too.

Bear is fairly stuborn at times & food gets her attention. Food lets me know when she has learned a command, other wise I'd never know lol My old dog was stuborn too.. so I used treats to teach him commans & tricks, once he was a pro, I weaned him off treats 100%, as I knew he knew the command.=, so if he ignored me, I'd make him to the command... eventually he became less & less stuborn & enjoyed the attention

Bear has pretty much the same personallity as my old dog, so I'm hoping it'll work with her too.
