If you have a new puppy and are looking for the secret to
training the puppy into the well-behaved dog of your dreams,
the secret is simple and easy: dog treats.
All dog owners know the sometimes slow and frustrating process
of training, taming and teaching their dog some good behavior
and maybe even some fun tricks. The problem for many owners is
that they forget about one of the main reasons that any human
or dog will act: motivation. Just like you need a little
motivation to start exercising more or to get your house
cleaned out, dogs need motivating reasons big enough to make
them want to stop wetting on your carpet or eating holes into
all of your socks. Dog treats can be a sure way to motivate
your precious pup to do almost anything you desire.
Dog treats are a great motivator for puppies for the obvious
reason that they taste good. Only when dog treats are actually
reserved as a special treat will dogs want to do whatever it
takes to enjoy the yummy treat. Can't you see how this is
true?
Imagine these two options in your own life: in the first
option,
you could eat ice cream as much and as often as you wanted to;
in the second option, you could only enjoy ice cream if you
had
put in a full hour of working out. Now tell me, would you be
very motivated to work out under the first option? Of course
you wouldn't. Not if ice cream could be a treat whether you
exercised or not. I want you to know that your puppies and
dogs
are no different, and that is why it is vital that dog treats
are only given as a reward for performing well.
For you, the dog owner, dog treats are great because they are
relatively inexpensive. Before you rush off and spend a lot of
money for a puppy obedience school you should try to train
your
puppy for a considerable amount of time on your own. And use
dog
treats. Even if the process of training your own puppy is
frustrating, it will be better for you and your pup if they
received all of their training from you.
Whether you are teaching your pup how to sit down or roll over
or how to go potty outside, using dog treats can be an
important element of the training. In no time your dog will
learn to love the reward of dog treats enough that it will
obey
every command you give it. Run to a local pet shop, pick up a
box of dog treats and let the training process begin!
