I often hear people say they don't want to use food when working with their dog. And my response is why not?
Here's a great link Treat Please! that I will start sharing with folks who question using food during training.
And have you ever wondered what the effect of training has on your dog's brain?
- training stimulates the pleasure center of the dog's brain
-boosts release of pleasure chemical, Oxytocin
-reduces level of stress chemical, Cortisol
- makes your dog want to REPEAT positive behaviors
- increases appropriate response to verbal cues
- builds confidence
- your dog associate you with good feelings & fun
- your dog will be happier, less anxious and more social
And don't skip on the value of the treat - you can do better than kibble!
