Lucy subtly reacts to to Lucy being so close by while we train and reward. At times, Jessie may also be reacting to me (or both of us in combination). She doesn't like me leaning in or coming from above. At the end, you notice she chooses not to do a nibble? This may be because I am leaning into her. Her tongue flick though, might be offered as an alternative behavior since we have also training it as well (and she has at least 3 cues for it, one of which I am probably giving and not knowing. She picks up such subtle body motion as cues!

Once you've seen all Jessie's signals, go back and watch again to watch what Lucy is doing.

In case you are wondering, we are retraining the 'hold my finger' Lucy especially needs help with learning how to regulate her bites (bite inhibition).
