Reward Training and your Dog or Puppy A short snippet on reward training from a dog blog's archives [February 2007]... Reward training works best for your dog and it will cement a lovely working relationship between you within a short period of time. The next question which is often asked is... what form of reward or treat is best? The answer, I'm afraid, is that there is no one 'one size fits all' answer to that question! All dogs are different, some are food motivated, some go for toys, others just love to go a walk, still others will love kind words and praise or being stroked, patted, and rubbed. For many though a bit of praise which is reinforced by a food treat is the ideal. The only thing to bear in mind when using food as the reward is that you don't want your dog to get overweight... so take care in the selection of your treat food. It isn't wise to use dog biscuits or similar commercial treats - it is far better to go for something like cheese, liver, or sausage. Choose something which it is practical and hygenic to carry around with you... I know of dogs who love baby tomatoes, and we had dogs who just loved blackberries, another who could never resist rosehips, and also a 'bananaholic'.
