[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 631493, member: 17269"] You'll get better at it. Just a warning though..picking up SOMETIMES is a serrious reinforcement to his behavior..unpredictable reinforcement creates the hardest behaviors to extinguish (I think that is an old Skinner rat experiment...he gave rates food everytime they pressed a lever...then he stopped. The ones he stopped consistently with gave up on lever pressing after few tries. If he gave them food after 5 presses, then again after 11 more...they continued pressing for weeks). So you set yourself up for prolonging the aggravation...but I do understand. Echo [/QUOTE]
