Today we did our third recent discrimination session, and it's still proving to be rather difficult for us! I flipped the tunnel around in the A-frame and this setup was much better, without trees in the way. Nonetheless, we had trouble. Jonah doesn't have tunnel suck per se, nor does he find a magnetic pull towards the A-frame each time. Often when he makes a mistake he picks the farther obstacle. I've left the tunnel out there and we'll just keep practicing.
One concern I have is that he's quite sensitive. When he makes a mistake, I don't do anything to punish him, but even just not saying anything starts to turn him off if he 'misses' the discrimination more than once or twice in a row. Today I had to take a break from discriminations and go do other fun things a few times before coming back to it.
Another thing that seemed to up the difficulty of the discrimination was to do it more in flow of a short sequence rather than all by itself. I'll have to keep trying that.
