  Like many other eager diva-ish bunnies, Vivian, can get a bit excited about her treats. Mostly getting right under foot, but sometimes she’ll give a quick little bunny box to get the treat out her slow human’s hand. In this video, I used a previous example of her behavior of how she can get under foot.(though unrelated since it was her telling Steve he was not welcome, but her treat begging behavior is similar). Anyway, she has made some great progress using her bunny brains instead of her VivaDivatude.
  
  Oh, and sorry about the audio — it’s all over the place, mostly low. I was having trouble and just gave up– too frustrated to fix it. I think I was just trying to get my own voice lower since I always seem to sound like Mrs Bucket (from Keeping Up Appearances). Hate that. LOL!

  Cute! I like how she’s trained you to give her a treat when she does the circle trick.

  That’s great. She’s so cute and smart. Hodari only gets treats for going to her cage, or into her carrier for trips to the vet. She knows with pretty good precision what time I usually tell her to go to her cage, so she often anticipates it and will go there before I have to ask; she sticks her nose through the bars, bobbing high, then down low. Lol.

  I got so excited when I saw a new Vivian movie post just now!
  Didn’t know you’d trained her to do circles for treats. So smart, our Vivian.
  
  She really is such a great bunny. She’s come a very long way since your adoption of the older aggressive girl that got returned to the shelter because no one wanted her. I just love Miss Vivian. Proof what a difference a good home makes.

  This. She’s a very good people trainer!
  
  Otto is also positive that the “give me a treat” command is spinning in a circle. He’ll randomly come up to me and spin and spin until I feed him. Of course it works every time. I’m very obedient.

  Aww, she’s so cute. And what a smart bunny! Mine just attack me when I grab the treat bag, but I think it’s cute, so I let them get away with it lol (only time they’ll jump into my lap)

  I enjoyed that. She does a very lovely turn-on-the-haunches. Brains AND beauty.
