hello! i have a 9 month old golden retriever who is my pride and joy. she’s an excellent puppy. from the months of may- july we completed a 6 week training program, 1 class for 1.5 hours for 6 weeks. however, she is not trained at all. we have tried to keep up with her training, but she doesn’t care. she doesn’t listen unless we are holding treats, and when we do have treats on us, she gets super eager- excited and lunges, demand barks and never settles. how do i encourage her to settle down to receive her rewards (treats)? for instance, if i tell her to sit, she will sit for approximately 0.2 seconds before getting too excited and lunging for the treats and demand barking/ squirming in place out of excitement.
she’s very food motivated. she begins another 16 week training program at the end of the month.
