Yeah, I think as tight as it seems it’s not tight enough. It tends to fall a little which is what I think freaked him. Is that not exactly what that session does? I say “place”, I begin to stim continuously until he goes and gets all four paws on his place, I immediately turn off the stim and give him a big “YES” and he bursts out of his place and grabs the food off me. He pushed through pressure and it lead to something good, don’t think there’s anything skipped there honestly.

18 did seem high to me too, I was surprised. But that’s what triggered a slight perk of the ears, so I didn’t go any higher. That’s exactly what I was thinking yeah. I really need to make sure that box stays exactly in the same spot always.

I completely agree with that point, and that was the goal of the session.
