I did see that! It's lovely - always wanted to know what those little folds were for!

Sorry Eva is not co-operating - have you tried putting something (like a towel) over her head first to see if that calms her? I 'spect you've tried everything possible apart from putting a chewy toffee in her mouth. Poor Graham - how's a clicker going to help him Erin?

Re: If I'm not around tomorrow evening


Well we tried the towel trick this evening. Still not happening, she went mental and attacked poor Bernie although I did manage to just nip the end off of one dew claw, so I supose it wasnt all a big loss.
The idea with the clicker Angie is that, I have clicker trained Eva a little so she will will jump up, if i say up and down if I say down and if she really feels like it and I have juicy enough prawn she will sometimes give me a high five when I ask. So what Erin and I had talked about was using the clicker training to sort of try to desensitize her to allow me to touch/hold her paws. Gotta be worth a try.

Sounds like a great idea! It's just the way Erin wrote it originally, I thought it was to help Graham! duh
