My neighbor asked me to take care of his blind dog for a few days. I went to the dollar store and bought a bunch of treats for every day I had to go over and visit the dog. This way, the dog will associate my visits with something positive.

So before I gave the dog a treat, I'd say hi to the dog, get the leash, tell the dog we're going for a walk, and then get back, and then play with the wrapper of the treat in my pocket, and say, "What's this? Is this for you? Is it a treat?"

And then I'd open the treat and she'd go run off and eat it and then return and we'd hang out for a bit and then I'd tell her I'd see her tomorrow.

The dog is a child. They look forward to you visiting because of the rewards.

Quite an easy thing to do. Just show confidence and do what they want to do. Pretty easy.
