General Tips for Luma Device Placement
1. Food/Toy Distraction
What to Do: Use a high-value treat or a favorite toy to divert your pet’s attention away from the device.
Why it Works: Treats like frozen goodies are excellent for occupying your pet for an extended period.
2. Timing
What to Do: Choose a time when your pet is naturally tired or more relaxed.
Why It Works: Your pet may be less resistant to the device placement when they are in a relaxed state.
3. Environment
What to Do: Opt for a calm and quiet setting that is free from distractions like other people, pets, or loud noises.
Why It Works: A peaceful environment will allow your pet to focus on the treat or toy, making it easier for you to place the device.
4. Consistency
What to Do: Make the device placement part of a routine.
Why It Works: Animals thrive on routine, and incorporating the device placement into a daily or weekly routine can help your pet get used to it.
5. Positive Reinforcement
What to Do: Always reward your pet after the successful placement of the device.
Why It Works: Positive reinforcement will help your pet associate the device with good experiences.
6. Incremental Introduction
What to Do: Gradually introduce the device to your pet, allowing them to sniff and investigate it before trying to place it.
Why It Works: A gradual introduction can reduce anxiety and make your pet more comfortable with the device.
What to Do If You're Still Struggling
