There are many choices when it comes to rewarding your dog with a treat for obeying your commands, and these treats make a big difference in your dog’s attitude towards you in learning new tricks, and why wouldn’t they? To get anything in life you have to give something back and dogs are no different, you help them and they’ll help you. Simple.
But what are the best rewards and treats to give your dog in times of good behavior? Well for starters you won’t be short of treats to try, the markets as it is now is full to the brim of all the fancy rewards and treats you could ever think of.
One of the favourite for dog owners is to treat their dog to homemade treats from recipes that can be found across the internet in many places, some of my favourites and personal recommendations are listed in the products page of www.dog-behavior-training.co.uk along with other tips on dog training there.
Consumer products are also a good choice when rewarding your dog; these include chewing toys which can be very rewarding for puppies and dogs alike. Saving one of their favourite toys for when they behave well makes everything more exciting for your dog and causes them to want to perform more for this reward.
If a chew toy is not to your dogs liking then they may instead enjoy a tug toy, tug toys are good for your dog’s teeth the same as chew toys are and it enhances the relationship between you and your dog as you play with them. Be careful while using these toys as some dogs may think of this game as good behaviour and will start tugging on trousers or other annoying or destructive things.
The last toys I am going to talk about are the throwing toys; these are good to calm your dog down when they are over active or if you just want to reward your dog with quality playing time for their good behavior. These toys range from a simple tennis ball to special durable dog Frisbees and help you to react with your dog wile also training playing the ‘fetch’ game.
There are lots more dog toys available, probably at your local pet shop. It is a good idea to keep in mind what textures and current toys your dog likes to play with or chew before making your choice but as long as your dog enjoys it, it can be used as a good reward and training method.

There are so many great ones but my dog's favorite is chicken liver, so these treats work well when I really want their attention!
Here's a whole bunch of other options in treats, biscuits etc…that you can make from home. They are all healthy and vet approved!

Chicken Liver Treats:
Ingredients
1 lb Chicken livers
1 cup flour
1 cup corn meal
1 Tablespoon garlic powder
1 egg
Directions
Place Chicken livers and liquid in blender, liquefy.
Add egg, mix a minute more. Pour into bowl.
Add flour, corn meal and garlic powder.
Mix. Spray jelly roll pan with pam.
Pour mixture into pan.
Bake 15 minutes in 400 degree hot oven.
Cut into small squares while still warm.
Keep in freezer to prevent spoilage.
Hotdogs, any brand. I use the cheap ones.
Cut them into thin slices and then cut in half, sprinkle with a little garlic powder and microwave them just to the point of burning,( they will puff up but they shrink) put them in a baggy and you are ready to go. They keep really well, are easy to work with, they are not greasy and dogs love them plus they are very inexpensive.
thanx this will speed up my dog when she poos
Eric,
From the bottom of my heart thank you for posting this Vid! I never had a dog and got an american bulldog. After scanning all of Vids yourS stuck in my head. My pup only “got busy” one time in the house as a pup. And because his bladder could not hold to the door from the kennel. Your get busy command is the best thing i have learned on this dog voyage!! THANK YOU!!!!
I use the treat recipes at http://www.k9rawdiet.com/Recipes-p-9.html There is a really good salmon treat recipe there. On that page I think most of the recipes that list commercial raw products but you can substitute your own ingredients from home. For example, in the recipe that calls for an "organ blend" you can just use liver from the grocery store. And in the salmon recipe, you can just use canned salmon instead . My dogs go nuts for the salmon cookies and you can bake them small enough to use for a high value training treat.
We got our puppy 12 days ago and this is working GREAT! Thank you!
I use the Natural Balance logs for treats just cube them up small, I also use Solid Gold treats, or Wellness treats broken up.
Also once a pup has learned a behavior I would start "fading" the treats – ie the first two time a pup does a requested behavior treat and praise, the third time praise only, the fourth time treat and praise..end of session. Mix the order up so that the pup doesnt get wise to when treats appear. Ive been training agility with my dogs for over 12 years and nobody expects a treat each and every time but they do get verbal praise everytime they do a behavior correctly…even when Im running a course and the praise is a simple YES!!
good advice. i lost my puppys collar and have been letting him go out without a leash and ive had nothing but problems. makes sense
loved this video too; i live in a very cold part of Canada and just got a puppy a month ago. I take him out regularily but sometimes when it is too cold it is hard to get him to concentrate. I will try taking the leash today and using a command word. Thank you for this video. I think if animal shelters used more behavioralists to offer free animal behaviour advice there would be less animals euthanised; animal shelters should try to help the frustrated pet owners as part of the process.
Good choice of words haha. Thank you for the vid. Do you happen to have any on getting your puppy to actually go outside and walk with you?
A tiny, tiny piece of cheese.
Treats are best when you are first showing your dog what you want him to do. But you have to start weaning him off the treats once you know that he knows what is expected of him.
Example of weaning dog off treats:
Sit, treat, sit, treat, sit, treat, sit, treat, sit, treat, sit, treat.
Sit, sit, treat, sit, sit, treat, sit, sit, treat.
Sit, sit, sit, treat, sit, sit, sit, treat.
Sit, sit, sit, good boy, sit, sit, sit, treat
Sit, sit, sit, good boy, sit, sit, sit, good boy.
See, now you've weaned him off food and he still responds with praise.
BTW, there's no such thing as, "you can't teach an old dog new tricks".
I've had dogs as old as 9 yrs. old in my obedience classes.

DAMN LOVE UR VIDS
Only problem i have is that everytime i put the leash on my pup gets too excited and begins to pee before we even get outside… no idea how to deal with that all i do is just not even take him out anymore when he does that
My guys will EAT commercial treats, but they won't WORK for them. They insist on the good stuff.
Chicken is great.
So is liver. I boil it, then lay it on a cookie sheet, sprinkle with garlic powder, and bake at really low heat until it's dry enough that it's not gross to handle.
Also do a google for liver brownies or muffins, you'll get lots of good recipes and the dogs usually love it.
If you're stuck somewhere and there's a grocery store nearby, try string cheese. Around here we also have cheese curds, the dogs go nuts for those.
Any kind of meat you have leftover (beef, pork, whatever) will usually do the trick too.
I used to train with chicken weiners, either as they are or sliced up and cooked in the microwave to make "puffs". (About a minute or so). But I worried about my dogs eating too much processed meat with all the nitrates and that. But as an occasional treat they are still good. BTW, they don't "puff" properly if they've been frozen.
wonderful advive!
why are you going broke? what on earth are you using for treats? chunks of organic veal? My dog loves Burns fish treats… they are all natural and healthy. They do stink! But that makes them a "high" reward. If money is short you could use things like small cubes of stinky cheese or hot dogs.
