My rott Shadow is uncomfortable with putting her 2 paws on the placement and refuse to even stay on it.even with treats..any suggestions to ally the fear.
that's normal. she's unsure of what you want, so just be patient, take it slow. give her LOTS of praise and rewards for having her feet up there, a continuous "stream" of treats the quickly invite her off of the elevation. do not treat her or praise her while she's off the spot. let her notice the contrast, ie...on the block LOTS OF GOODIES, off the block BORING...NOTHING. keep your session short and just concentrate on making her comfortable putting paws on..nothing esle yet.
