xochi used to refuse to go in the kennel for a long time because of being abandoned in a box. Kennel training has been hard af. Eventually, I started to use peanut butter for training. It took a few weeks, but he started going in on first command easy peasy. I was so proud. Today, I opened the kennel after running errands and he refused to get out. I was confused now. I realized since I was going so quick to grab laundry, I didn't both to give him a treat to lure him him he went in so easy. I asked him if he wanted pb and that's why he wasn't getting out? He did a little nod to indicate yes. I got him pb carrott and he immediately got out of the kennel to eat it. My dog is too smart.
