Betty Reavis Webboard User Reg: 12-24-2008 Posts: 178 Loc: NewMarket, Al Offline	In my last post I was having a problem with my 22 month old gs Luna after a severe wind storm. She refused to come in the living room at night. Day time all was well, but when it got dark she wanted no part of it. I racked my brain trying to figure out what was spooking her and gave up. I decided to try the FIND IT game. I hid food all over the living room at night and gave her a command to Find It. We played many times and guess what? That elusive monster in the living room is gone. Go figure! She is absolutely fine now. To top it off, we had another wind storm and it didn't bother her one bit. The FIND IT game is a winner in my book and I bet you guys have silly stories just like me to share.

We played tug, and did obedience commands but as soon as we were through she wanted out. With the Find it game she wanted to play more I just decreased the number of food treats for her to find and it worked, when I was done she layed down on the living room floor and took a nap. I was astonished to say the least.
