Works really well. Very stress free!

    Yes! It does really work : ) And yes you should give a treat everytime. That is how reinforcement works : ) If you want a behavior to repeat or be maintened you need to reinforce it. No reinforcement and it will go away. In other words you are giving the rabbit a reason to want to do the behavior.
