Treats to use- Most frequently asked question #1- dog training clicker training

I made this quick video because this is the most common question I get asked daily on youtube. BUT the secret is not WHAT treat to use, but what treat YOUR dog needs you to use. It will be different for every dog! The next secret is that you have to keep changing the treats up or the dog will get bored/habituate to the treat you always use.

Size of the head of a pin???? Omgg

[kikopup]

@josski32 Well... I have seen people feed their tiny chihuahua treats the size of their dogs head almost... Tiny dogs need tiny treats. Its annoying... I must tell you. Its way easier to train a taller dog with bigger treats than fiddle around with a short dog and tiny treats- but it's like knitting- a learned skill, once you got it, you forget the awkwardness of it

what about if i have a puppy, can i gave her cheese and real meat? i just dont want her to get sick

Thanks for the video

[kikopup]

@BHBTUTORIALS You could use boiled chicken... its part of a bland diet if your dog has dietary restrictions

My greyhound LOVES my bread crusts after I have cinnamon toast for breakfast in the morning! Strange, I know, but you sort of mentioned another client who experienced the same... now I feel better. :)

@GreytMusic Splash is obsessed with bread too- her favorite thing!

using cheese instead of the treats from the pet store made my dog a billion times smarter

@peaceflmeadow It's called Freeze Dried Salmon aka Kitty Crack. My cats will do absolutely anything for the stuff. Plus, it powders easily with pressure, and can be crumbled onto kibble to make it more enticing. Dogs seem to love it too, it has a fishy smell and flavor (I presume). My cats actually got into an above counter cupboard to find the packet, and ate every bit.

On the reverse end of the scale are dogs that get overly excited about any food. With Lucy, I use Cheerios for general training in the house. If I use anything more exciting, she usually can't think. I save the really high value ones -raw meat n her case, for the behaviors and activities that are hardest for her such as calling away from other dogs and distant recalls in very distracting environments.

i normally slice up hot dogs, but when i tought my dog "say your prayers" i used the remains and crusts of a pork roast made that day!!! i think that was the fastest he EVER learned

@MonteyCarlo92081 dogs are actually omnivores. Cats are true carnivores.

You have solved my problem :)

I have two maltese cross shitzu dogs at 10 months, i have a problem when it comes to walking though, they jump and bark at dogs to the point im scared if they attack.

I want them to easily walk past without getting arroust over the situation, we are getting them the snip on january.

Im happy with using your videos to train them when it comes to guests and new people, its just i need some help on preventing them from barking and pulling me towards bigger dogs.

Haha, my dog Tam, well I don't know if he likes or hates bread because if you give him some he goes into the garden starts digging, buries it and thats the last you see of the bread... The same goes for chew treats like meaty bones- (ya know pigs ears and stuff...) he will take them and bury them and if anyone else (dog or human) goes near that patch or him when he's eating the bone... Oooohhh he's angry :) Good video though lots of gr8 tips!!! (sorry bout the repost! mistake in 1st 1!)

...my dog likes carrots........lol!!!

[josski32]

@kikopup I can just imagine! That image made me laugh! Haha. (A treat the size of a chihuahua's head!) But little dogs are worth it. And like you said, once you get the hang of it, like with nearly everything, it becomes easier. Just wondering, do you knit? I was just thinking since you mentioned it...

i've got a Bichon puppy that will recite Shakespeare for small pieces of

pepperoni. just zap a few slices for 50 seconds in the microwave, pat them dry

and use 3 or 4 per training session. they'll crumble...and go a long way.
