Mine too. Won't come to drink even which is sometimes a worry.

Yup. Mine is like that too. They just can't turn it off.

I've always trained my dogs using praise...

Praise is easy to procure, with a healthy "atta girl", and a good ruffle when they do well.

Treats mean you have bits of food / kibble etc in your pockets......
