In the second one, He waves, if you watch you will see his little foot come up. It's hard to tell whats going on because its sideways and its from my cell phone.. Maybe i can get a better one soon. Its hard when you only have two hands..

Well done!

What are you using for a treat there? It looked kind of pink in the video.

Its a sunflower seed, not the shell, just in seed inside.
I bought a HUGE thing of them at Publix for.. maybe 2.00? He loves them!
They are quick and easy, so we can get back to training.. He is pretty funny with his food and it usually takes him awhile to eat (he has to look at every bite LOL) but these little seeds are great!!

Good idea! Franklin was taking forever to eat his treats too, and was learning pretty quickly that if he just took an ENORMOUS bite of millet spray, he'd have about 10 seeds to slowly chew through, instead of only one or two. So now he only gets one seed at a time, but I had to re-jig the way I was holding the target stick, clicker, and tiny treat!

He also likes slivered almonds, I just pinch them up into tiny pieces to give as treats, and I do the same thing with dried cranberries.
