As some of you may know I have been trying to train my IRN to step up with target training. About 3 days ago I finally got him to step up multiple times and while he was on there I gave him treats to make him more comfortable. The last time he did it he was uncomfortable and jumped back onto his cage and since then he hasn't stepped up, almost like he's forgotten or afraid of my hand again. When I come up with the target stick and my hand he ignores the stick and just chews on my hand. It's extremely frustrating because I feel like all that training we've done together has been lost and we're back to square one. Does anyone know why he doesn't do it anymore and what I might do to get him comfortable doing it again? Also do you have any advice to deal with chewing and how to discourage it on hands?
PS: He does still do target training when my hand isn't involved
