I’m in a wheelchair and can’t use my arms or legs so I spit treats to my dog and he catches them. If he misses one, he checks out. I’d like to make the reward event more meaningful, do you have any ideas?

Maybe work on just staying stationary and having him very close and work eye contact. then spit random numbers of treats, 3 then 1 then 2 then 4, etc... You could also spit a treat onto the floor and tell him to get it, then you go the other direction and when he gets to you, jackpot the treats one right after the other making sure he looks at you before you reward. Kind of a version of the food chase recalls we do with puppies. I find that this builds engagement a lot with my puppies and older dogs.
