Troubleshooting Problems



                   In some cases, your dog may not notice the treat in your

                   hand. If so, try moving the hand with the cookie around a

                   little to grab his attention. If you really need to, you can


                   lower the hand, let him sniff the cookie, then raise it back

                   up into position. This may lead to jumping, but ignore the

                   jumping behavior and wait for him to make eye contact.



                   If your dog still

                   doesn’t make


                   eye contact, you

                   may need to

                   give him a little

                   hint. In the Brain

                   course, the

                   “Look into My
                                                I make the smacking sound from “Look into My
                   Eyes” game will
                                                Eyes” so Einstein makes eye contact. When he
                   teach your dog
                                                  looks into my eyes I say “yes” and drop the
                   to make eye
                                                                        treat.
                   contact

                   whenever you make the smacking sound we learned

                   about earlier (see page 7). Once your dog has mastered

                   “Look into My Eyes,” you can use the smacking sound

                   during “The Airplane Game” as a hint.
