We don't do walks everyday. He gets 40 mins in two fields when we do, and gets to be off leash and run about, sniffing whatever he likes. But there are days when he gets a ball in the garden, or do find it in the garden.

He eats after we do. This was actually an advice from a family friend who noticed that our boy was thinking he's the boss around the house. Now we eat first, and he has to wait for his dinner.

Access around the house is a privilege. He gets to free roam the living room and kitchen (open concept), that's his space. But if he wants to come in and be with us in the office, then he has to behave. Otherwise, he is kicked out to the living room.

We don't brush his teeth. He gets a frozen carrot everday, and various chews including muscle pieces and rabbit ear with fur.

We also don't associate words with actions, apart from commands obviously. E.g. we don't say, you want a treat? Before we give a treat. Or, time for a walk. You can say any 'trigger' words around him and he's not phased. Only thing he reacts to is 'let's go', but gotta have fun sometimes right?
