Last night I was playing with Shilo (my Red Bellied) and while she was sitting on my finger I was holding down her one foot with my thumb and with my other hand I would put my finger up next to her leg and as she went to step up on my finger I said “Shake” and then I would take her foot and gently shake it. I did this for about 10 minutes until I could tell she was tired of doing it, but after 10 minutes she was almost putting her foot up almost every time. I reinforced it a few times this morning before I left work and she is catching on fast, so I am sure before this weekend is over she will have this down pat. As soon as she does I will record it and post the video. Wish us luck!
