The problems I had with Ruby were mainly with magazine training. I did Sniffy training before I began training Ruby. Magazine training with Sniffy went so well that I thought the same or similar would be the case for Ruby. However, that simply wasn't the case given that Ruby's training took almost 4 times as Sniffy's training.One major setback that I experienced while training Ruby was when the individual training before me left chocolate pellets from their training in the food magazine. Ruby became satiated after 10mins, and I think it really had an effect on why magazine training took me so long. From that day forward, I always checked the food magazine before every session.
It was also challenging to make time in my busy schedule to train Ruby. I tried to train her at the same time every day, but there were just some days that I wasn't able to train her at 3:30 PM. My training could have definitely improved had I been able to train at the exact same time everyday.
I think the most challenging situation that I encountered was when Ruby escaped in the holding room. I had just gotten done weighing Ruby and when I opened the top to the tin box on the scale, she jump out and started scurring around the room. I immediately shut the door and attempted to catch her. Every time I would get ahold of Ruby, she would leap out of my hands. It took me a good 10 minutes to finally catch her. Needless to say, it was a traumatic experience for both of us!
