A little update on Chewy’s progress, he’s still not doing a proper step up but he’s flying onto our finger from wherever he’s at for a treat.
So for now we’re establishing the fact that a finger is also a place to sit as opposed to a flat hand only.
When introducing another finger for him to step on to while on one finger already, he’s still weary off and actually prefers to fly down to the bed and fly back to the next finger... lol

That’s great! Now you can teach him to fly to you when called. If he flies to you for a treat, start calling his name. Eventually, he will come when you call him without seeing the treat, but still give him the treat afterwards and praise him.
 
That’s what we’ve been doing already:) I’m sure he’s getting tired of hearing his name so often haha!
But he’s definitely responding to it!
