Hello,
I've gotten to Filou to lift his left paw pretty high, using a food lure, and started say "wave" at the clicking moment. Will continuing to practice that help me eliminate the treat? Would add a hand signal be too confusing? I'm still pretty new at this, so bear with me.
I've tried to introduce a target stick (wooden) and he chews it. Could a target stick be used instead of a food lure for a behavior like that?
Many thanks-Jen
