Well I just pulled the thing out of the closet it has been in there for years (from my sheltie)  I am trying to get Ivy to learn how to use the thing and she is looking at me like I am crazy and wants me to keep pushing the bone down so she gets the kibble.  It is a gumball machine looking treat dispenser  that the dog pushes a bone shaped handle on and food comes out and I just for the life of me can not remember how I trained my Sheltie to use it.

  Nora do you think maybe she is too young to start on this?  She is 5 months old now and I thought because she has learned so much so fast I wanted to start something new so she is not bored.  Any suggestions would be helpful.  I have the yummy treats in the thing and have tried to do the give me the paw on top of the handle and sometimes she accidentally pushes it and gets the treat  but doesn't seem to be connecting push the bone and  get the reward.  Does that make sense?
