Of course, this only works if your dog is driven by food reward... I've had more than one dog that would ignore the treat and keep barking, because what they wanted when you worked them up was interaction, not food... They'd ignore the food.
Which worked out nicely in competition when they would randomly sprinkle hotdogs around the field trying to distract the dogs...
thats a great sound.. those two barks together!! 
buy the sound of it... her dog is not THAT motivated :shrug: no worry there.
but I do know what you are talking about .... V will not stop. he will take the food while barking .... :countingfingers: (god I wish I never taught him to speak!)(hell... thinking about it.. wish I never taught P to speak also... she doesnt stop...)
Good V!! 
That was friggin' hysterical. 
I trained a lot using tennis balls and tugs (prey reward). At Harley's first trial, during the Civil phase (dog restrained, no gear on decoy, decoy tries to distract dog and 'tag' handler) the decoy tried to use a tennis ball as a distraction. Threw it way wide... Harley leapt, caught it in mid-air, and befor ethe decoy could twitch, was back in position TRYING to bark and be aggressive but with a tennis ball in his mouth.
They were going to give us a zero score for that until the decoy swore to the judges that if he had come in, he would have gotten bit, ball or no ball.
Browning will do anything for food. He is very food motivated. The only problem is that he is dumb and he doesn't get things very quickly. But, he tries really hard. And he is cute!
*bump*
Even numbers work so much more nicely. Limit is 2, then you add 2, then I would say, "Good for you!". 4 is better than 3, surely you can see.
