Think I better not neglect the two Js as my blog contents have diversified quite a bit lately.. Anyway, am happy to announce that Jojo IS indeed showing signs of improvement after one week of `training' - as instructed by the MKA instructor.
Last Saturday, Muni (the instructor) told us to change Jojo's feeding habit and place with the aim that he would be more obedient to enter his house willingly.
We did as told. After changing the feeding time to the morning, Jojo actually ate much faster. In 5 minutes, he would have finished at least 3/4 of the food. Normally he didn't do that.
But best of all, now that he knows he only gets food and snacks inside his house, he is much less resistant to go in. Sometimes when I just go `In' and stand next to the cage, he will automatically go in!
Great! :) it's only like 8 days and it is already working. I can foresee that soon, Jojo would listen to the `in' commandment and go into the cage without us having to coax or force him to.
Will have to continue the same method of training till Muni comes next Saturday.
Jelly meanwhile, is not so happy being fed in the morning inside her crate. She actually protested and made that growling `wooooo!' sound a few times. So finally we had to drag her inside and lock her in but give her longer time to finish.
After all, it is very easy to get Jelly to go inside her crate. Just use any kind of food/snack as bait and she ALWAYS falls for it. And sometimes I'm so mean I pretend to take the snack and pretend wanting to feed her, and then she would automatically go in.. but actually I have nothing in my hand!
And she does look confused and disaspointed. However, I do this not to be cruel to purposely trick her but because she needs to control her diet!
