Dog Training How To Use Food Reward

Introduction: Video: How to use food for training any dog or puppy!

This video shows the proper way to use food as a training tool.  In this video, you will learn how to use food for training your dog the right way.  I see so many people make mistakes when they first start using food rewards for working with their dogs.  I will teach you how to reward with food to get the best results.

How to get started with your training

So many people make the mistake of rewarding their dog with the treat when they have not done exactly what you’ve asked your dog to do.  Do you want the dog to sit on the first time or the fifth?  If you tell him five times and then reward him that is what you are teaching.  This is why people fail when using food as a benefit to training.  Watch my video and see how I am working with My Border Collie Lindy, and watch how I give him his food reward.

I still use food with all my dogs whenever I am working on a new training exercise. Then I move on to working with a ball, or puppy tug, once I see that my dog has picked up on the new training exercise.   One thing you may find out that some dogs are more interested in food more than others. And that’s found just use both if you like.

Often I see this happen when you do not start training off with a puppy at a young age.  Most everyone that I have helped train their dogs and puppies, to retrieve a toy always seem to think that their dog does not like toy training because their dog will not fetch it.

But that is not always true. Most of the time the dog just did not pick up on what you are trying to teach him yet, so you just need to make it fun and practice every day. Just a few minutes, two times a day is all it takes.  Think about when you take your dog out to go potty, and after he has done hes business use a ball for rewarding him.  You will see how fast they will learn.  Remember consistency is the key to success when training dogs and puppies.
