See, that's why you don't use treat praising! Use verbal praising! You can give treats for really hard tricks or potty training but not just step up. Now, it will take a very long time to just step up without treats, just don't give them treats anymore and see how it works out. Best advice I can give sorry
I taught my parakeets to step up today with treats but they won't step up without the treat. How can i change this?
