I like this idea. I'm going to try to use that technique with her too. I've not given her any treats lately since the last episode because I'm afraid for the cats going to sneek and see what it is and she getting upset and growling at them. But I think I'll try tonight and give it to her where she can't go and hide maybe.
Will keep you posted!
Thanks all for the comments.

And I use gentle when I am feeding treats. I hold the treat in my hand in a way that they need to be gentle and careful or they will get my fingers. Sometimes when they are excited and both of them are there, they will jump up and snap at the treat, so gentle tells them to go slow, be careful.
Too bad cats can't be trained like dogs can. I think that would kind of be cool.
