So you're saying they need to force feed the treats to get them to learn?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Never considered it that way. I wouldn't force it physically of course but one way is to wrap something they don't like yet or have no attraction to in something they do like, and gradually less and less of the thing they like.

It won't with things they are averse to though, at least ib my experience. For example medicine in peanut butter. No matter how many times, they just won't eat a pill by itself.
