Hi Kim, It sounds like you're doing a great job!!! It's important to ignore behavior we don't want and put behavior that we do want on cue. You can even develop a cue that means: you get to be creative now and will be clicked and treated for offering new behaviors. It's important to put things like that on cue, though, so they don't offer behavior without being cued! Mary
