My kids and notes: Year 9.1

Life with JB
Life with Smol Acrobat
Just like with a dog that’s not food motivated, I struggled to figure out Smol Acrobat’s motivation. (Sera started out as such a traumatized girl that food meant nothing to her either.)
Food is my natural go to lever for gaining cooperation. What do you do with these food indifferent dogs/kids? Well, I haven’t cracked the dog code yet, I just eventually found treats that were high value enough to break through Sera’s trauma induced anxiety to retrain her but Smol Acrobat doesn’t consistently like anything enough to have it be a high value snack.

Here, let me check your diaper.
