I'm really curious about this Doreen - how was the trainer holding the spoon? and did he let the dog lick at it or was he holding it up high and just out the dog's reach so the dog was just eyeing up at it [and drooling maybe!]. I would feel a bit silly walking along the road with a wooden spoon in my hand I have to say.
