Question of the Week: What Treats Do I Use for Puppies?!

Do I want to talk about treats?! Does a dog chase its own tail?! Of course I want to talk about treats!


Let's cut right to the chase. These are my favorite puppy treats to use while training.

Notes about treats:

- Make sure to rip/cut your treats into small pea-sized pieces. This will allow you to practice commands while being responsible about calorie intake.

- You can also use or mix kibble into your training if your dog is motivated. Again, this will allow you to practice commands repeatedly without worrying too much about calories.


Treat reminder: Treats are your tool to get your dog to do a behavior you want, when you want them to do it. Use them wisely!


Training reminder: You only need to train about 10 minutes a day to teach behaviors. During that ten minutes, you are working on teaching new commands, advancing known commands, and randomizing treats. Then you are using treats during 2-3 training opportunities per day. These opportunities are your time to practice your training in real life.


Happy training!
