Oh I use cheese quite often, and sausage and other yummy things. It works a dream with training in the house, and waiting to cross roads. It doesn’t work for recall though! I have ditched the hated long line for some walks, because I found that if I take a toy with us, she focuses on that, she loves to chase, fetch, find. I’ve been trying to teach her some sheepdog commands like; lie down, come by, walk on, wait etc (I probably sound like a knob, but I really don’t care,) I feel like she’s exercising her brain as well as her body. However, as soon as she notices that it’s time to leave (maybe it’s my body language?) she starts to carry the toy/ ball further away from me and won’t let me close. Food has no draw whatsoever. So that’s the latest shithousery from Merry. Luckily my HRT must be kicking in because I’ve managed to not completely loose my shit 
In other Merry news, she has started to sleep on her own downstairs. I found it a bit weird at first, but I think it’s a good thing because she must be happy and confident to be by herself. I hope that’s it, anyway. She still has naps by my side in the day, which is a bit restrictive for me. And when she is awake, she still wants full-on attention and play.
I also found a weirdness about her loose lead walking, which I’ve been finding hard work so far. A couple of nights ago her harness was still sopping wet from the morning, so I just clipped the lead on her collar. She walked so nicely!! Is that odd? Maybe a fluke? Though I did the same last night. Maybe she just hates the harness?
