Ep 117 To Feed or Not To Feed: Why Treats Could Be Stalling Your Training Progress & What To Do About It

Is your dog constantly x-raying your hands for a treat? Is food ruling your relationship with your dog? Have you ever been worried that your dog cares more about the food you have than you - perhaps they don’t seem that interested in what you’re saying, your training progress has slowed, or it may have even come to a complete standstill. This week we’re discussing a topic that we think every dog owner should know about: what to do when treats seem to take center stage in your behaviour training sessions. We’ll talk about why this can happen over time (so you can avoid those traps) and explore some helpful tips and tricks you can use to shift the spotlight and make YOU the center of your dog’s attention once again! ................Whether your dog is unpredictable with other dogs or predictably bad…Whether it looks like freezing, barking, lunging or running away…Whether you are just starting out on your dog-owning journey or your dog has been labelled as having a “behaviour problem”…… this episode is for you and is going to give you huge insights!Want to join the Help!
