He's also doing that intermittent reinforcement thing. You have to keep trying, but eventually (not consistently!) he will give you the response you're looking for. It's the same psychological principle that keeps people parked in front of slot machines. Intermittent reinforcement makes it much tougher to kick the habit.
Thanks for this!
