So my sun is a little loud these days, only because she wants me to play with her 24/7.
So I decide a little reverse psychology.
She screams and I say "Oh! cover? Is it the cover that you want?" I say it in a really nice welcoming tone as if I were giving her a treat based on her screaming.
Now, if she really wants to be covered, great. I'm also teaching her the word Cover.
In return if she gives me little grunts I say "Oh! you want to come out?" So she's learning that the little quiet grunts are getting her out as a treat.
It seems to be working, some times she just can't help herself, but it's helped a lot.
What to you think about this method?
