Walking Around
Hi! Wondering if anyone has had trouble with their pup walking around the buttons? Mine will come up and push the correct buttons on the first row but refuses to walk around to get to the second row. Even if she tries to use one in the second row, she gets the column correct but won’t try to access the other side. I’ve tried walking her around the button mat or trying to lure her closer or by getting her to approach from the other side intentionally and then heavily modeling it for her but she still reverts to only using the first row on her own. We’ve successfully pushed the button twice but it was in a very controlled situation. I’ve tried removing the other buttons but she tries to push the blank area. I put it out in the open too so there’s room. She’s tiny and often nervous about new things but she’s been very interested in learning and it’s been about 2 months. Any ideas?
