How do you praise your dog?

While someone thinks that snacks are not a good choice for dog training, the truth is a little bit different. Giving your dog treats shouldn’t become bribery. If you want to teach your dog how to sit or to stand still, giving your dog snacks can be of great help. Giving your dog different treats can speed up the result you want to achieve.

Why choose food?

It’s simple- All beings are motivated by something. Food is a natural motivator for all animals because it’s necessary for survival. Most dogs are motivated by food while people are mostly motivated by money.

What to do with picky dogs?

Picky dogs are also motivated by something, just we need to discover by what. Awards are graded by relevance, and the importance is determined by the dog, not by a human. It is necessary to consider and find something that dog motivates the most. The result will be better and faster if the stimulus/motivator is stronger. Picky dogs also need food for surviving, so it’s necessary to determine the perfect time for training/teaching. This fact doesn’t mean that you need to starve your dog! The food that we use for a meal can be used for teaching also. If you have a picky dog, you’ll need to change the type of reward more often.

One of the inaccurate facts is that if you use snacks, in the beginning, you must use them always. The truth is that you must give your dog snacks in the beginning more often, so he could know that the actions he’s doing are profitable. The main goal of every instruction is to extend the duration of the action and the time of the prize delivery. If we do it properly, treats will not be necessary every time. The dog will respect and listen to you if he has confidence in you.

You’ll not gain his trust if you shout at him or punish him. Dogs don’t do actions to satisfy us, but only themselves. If the dog is happy in the time he spends with us, he will gladly cooperate with us.

If you are afraid that your dog can gain weight by giving him treats, you should increase the amount of food that you give him for a meal. You should avoid giving him treats that are full of additives and give him natural treats like cheese and meat.

The dog that gets foods from you while you’re having a lunch or you’re preparing a meal in the kitchen will always look for a food from you. You shouldn’t give your dog food while you’re eating for a simple reason: He’ll think you’re rewarding him for such behavior and he can become spoiled very easily. You should train your dog very carefully and with a lot of love. The well-educated dog will never do unpleasant and dangerous things and will always know how to behave.
