Thanks for the advice lengel,
She is doing much better with most trucks. UPS trucks are her most excitable and I was unable to hold her attention by forking over a lot of treats as you mentioned. I am thinking that maybe these treats are not yummy enough to distract from the UPS truck.
Question: What are yummy treats that the rest of you use with highly distracting situations?
