[FRIAM] for the dog lovers

[thompnickson2 at gmail.com]

Glen, 

I couldn't see movement, but my eyes aren't great at detail, these days, so perhaps there was. 

My understanding of dogs and training is that many dogs want to know what their job is.  When you train them, it gives them a job, and they take pleasure in accomplishing the job.  The treat, I would argue, is not so much a reward as way of communicating to the animal what the job is.   We had a dog once, which somehow got the idea that catching snowballs was his job.  He would do it until his gums bled.  

Am I now responding to the point you were >>actually<<  making?

Maybe. The Jester's fond of deep fakes. But if it is, it's a good one. You can see the front two dogs eyes moving, a little tail vibration in one dog's, etc.

And even if it's fake, it doesn't change the point I *actually* made in the post.

GO!!! Does that feel good? Or is it stressful? Maybe one or two of them are dyed in the wool *competitors* and love the intense wait for the chirp. But the third is thinking "OMG! OMG! OMG! What if I don't perform well enough?!"
