on 1/1/2009 I recently rescued a small terrier mix male — very excitable. I’ve successfully used treats to train him to sit and do other desirable stationary tasks. However, when trying to train him to do active things like playing fetch, he is so obsessed about begging for and getting the treats he is in no way focused on the task. What do you suggest?

Video Transcript

"So what I'm doing right now is getting Roby to see that what she wants to have, which is a nice, juicy hot dog, is in this hand. And once she really gets used to this, I'm going to ask her to start moving around and following the hand. Good. And see if she's ready to follow me yet. Good girl. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Nope. Now next door we have two pit bulls who are under socialized. So they're going to make her react a little bit. Because she's really not sure they're not going to come over here. They're going to talk a little smack. And work together to cause a bit of a problem. In the chair is Roby's owner. And she's used to being a little bit of a lap dog when she gets nervous and get her rewarded for jumping up and getting pet. So we're going to try to change that a little bit today."
