Simple! Whenever she burped we said "Burp! Good girl!" and then she got a treat. After it happened a few times she connected "Burp" meant she got a treat.

Same with the other guys and *Sneeze*

Capitolize on something they already do, give it a name and give them a treat! Works every time!

LOL Jan. Our B&J does the same thing. I am not sure if the others do it yet. Think each one imitates their bonding buddy. Since Jason hiccups and burps it seems Taz has really developed the habit - mostly for attention. My husband will "crack" his neck by quickly turning his head back and forth - the green cheek does this now. Not sure what Angel does like me ......... I will have to watch.

It amazes people, they don't realize how simple it is to teach.
