Definitely worth at least trying. They're reasonably smart animals.
Mine know a few things, they just don't always choose to listen. :roll:
I was amazed how rambo listened to me the other day though. I didn't realise that she had got out of the temp run until I went to shut the buns in, and she was in the middle of the garden nomming grass. I calmly walked over said "go home" and she hopped back in to the run, I said "go on, go home" again and she went right back in the shed. :shock: I was in disbelief.
I made the mistake of teaching Eli "beg" which means he periscopes or goes full height and leans on my legs. When he realised doing that would get him a treat I got mauled every time I went in the shed. I stopped saying "beg" and I stopped giving him a treat when he did it, but he's still doing it, even weeks later
