How to train your dog:
Training a dog is all about clarity, timing, and motivation. One of the most successful methods is rewarding desired behavior with something your dog enjoys, like a dog treat. But did you know that the speed of the reward makes a big difference in how quickly your dog learns? This article explains how to use rewards wisely and how a handy tool, the silicone treat pouch, makes your training easier.
Why reward training works
Dogs learn through association. When your dog performs a desired behavior and immediately receives a reward, they create a positive association between their action and the reward. This ensures they'll repeat the behavior more often.
Examples of desired behavior that you can reward are:
-
Walking neatly on a leash
-
Come when you call him
-
Sit still on command
-
Wait quietly or don't jump up
Rewarding not only makes training more fun for your dog, but also for you as an owner.
Timing is everything
The most important thing with reward-based training is prompt rewarding . If there's too much time between the desired behavior and the reward, your dog won't fully understand what exactly he's being rewarded for.
That's why it's useful to always have snacks within reach.
The ideal tool: the silicone treat bag
