Using Treats To Raise A Great Dog
Raising a great dog is not easy. It takes patience, commitment, and consistency. One of the most important techniques for raising a well-behaved pup is using treats as rewards for good behavior.
What are the best types of treats? Which ones should you avoid? How can I teach my dog new tricks using treats? We will answer all these questions and more!
Treats are the best way to train a puppy. Just make sure you use positive reinforcement and proper timing of the treat so it’s clear that the dog knows he did something right. Give your dog a treat every time you want your dog to do something and repeat that behavior.
First, let’s look at some healthy treat options for your puppy.
1. Wellness Soft Puppy Bites
These soft puppy bites are perfect for your new puppy. These are healthy treats that come in flavors your puppy will love. Initially we broke them in half and just gave him half of a treat at a time. Now that he is older, we give him a whole treat.Â
We found these to be the perfect bribe when we needed our puppy to listen and follow commands. We started using these for potty training the day we brought our new puppy home. We also used these to crate train him. You hold it in your closed hand and let him sniff your hand. Then you let him watch you place it in the back of his crate. He will run into the crate to find it and then he will associate going in his crate with good things. After a while you will no longer need to bribe him every time.
