Makes sense. It's always worth asking just to make sure things are interpreted to the best of our knowledge. But again pillowcase method does wonders. Remember BP's are shy ambush predators so being out in the open typically goes against everything they know. They only come out when they're comfortable and confident. That's why the pillowcase works well. Let's them have a nice secure way to interact with you and also let's them smell you/know you're not a threat. Also I kinda agree with the longer training sessions. My female used to be reactive and would strike at anything but I would just wait her out until she stopped striking and basically did a behavior I liked so I gave her what she wanted which was to go back to her safe enclosure. A lot of animal training in general is waiting out the negative until they do a positive. Sometimes it's quick and sometimes like my girl it's a process. You don't want to go too long as that can stress an already stressed animal but say with yours if he's zooming around scared then let him zoom until he stops for just a second then reward that second by putting him down. If you put him down while he's zooming he might think zooming gets him put down so he's going to keep doing it.Originally Posted by CakeLike
