Somewhat stress the word “trust” and then say: “I am pleased you do not like eating things on trust, but this I have just discovered has been ‘paid for,'” highlighting the words “paid for.”
Your Beagle-Harrier can likewise be taught to toss the snack upon hearing a certain number. To teach this, balance it on his nose and hold his head while you count clearly and deliberately, one, two, three, and after that tap him under the chin. Before he has learned the technique he will toss it up as often at one, two, four, as he will at 1, 2, 3, but he must be drilled up until he will not toss it up until he hears “three.” It will make it easier for him if you slightly emphasize the “3” word.
After a while you can use many combinations of numbers and he will wait till he hears the emphasized “three.” As you are teaching him do not make him wait too long prior to you state “3,” and permit him to eat the snack.
