Billi and I have been working on specifying requests recently, some days she does amazing others not so much. But I use those times as opportunitues to reinforce A TON of words, and work on "yes" and "no". It's a fine line between continued learning and frustration though, so being attuned to your pet's body language in addition to their words is super important. I probably stretched this one out a bit farther than she really wanted, but we didn't go over the edge to where she doesn't want to participate anymore out of frustration.

Billi is a female domestic shorthair, she's 12 years old, her favorite word is mad. Inspiration from Hunger4Words (check her out on IG).
