I use the Jerky Treats from Costo with Tulsa.
She is so attentive when she knows they're in my pocket.
The Nutritinal value also checks out well.
But like anything else, don't over treat, and don't over do.
Make them work for their treats.
But make them realize when treats are not due.
If they can't perform without a treat, they are not perfoming.
A dog needs to respond to voice, as well as food rewards.
Praise is a Mighty Training Tool.
Love on your dog when they do well, they thrive on the voice praise, the physical contact, almost, and sometimes better than a food reward.
Let them know physically when they have done well, give 'em a hug, roll on the floor with them, and start again. It also makes them feel comfortable to be touched, by you, by their vet, and the children in your house
This is JMO, but it has worked for me.
And...Don't allow your young dog, or puppy, to get away with anything! Be constantly aware of, where, when, and what your dog is doing, when you drop your guard, kiss the control goodbye!
Dogs are very intelligent beings!
They have learned to control their Masters.
My GSD is controlling the keyboard... I am under her control...all you other dogs...follow my command...
DEMAND More Food, More Treats, And more Pics of Puppies!
