Persuasion is my veg. I have my boys doing circles!
But anytime there is food involved. they are puddy in my hands. Maybe you would get down on the floor, and Move the food in that direction, and once he/she is "Home" Do it again.. And again...Basically... Repetition is key. So Far, I have circles, and When I say "Yum Yums" They go INSANE... Well ... Because it's yum yums.
Good Luck!!
