The Training Game: A New Perspective
Tell me why?
?My dog loves to eat his kibble while training at home. I am so surprised that he will not eat it in the group sessions.?
?Our dog stays motivated and focused for training when the house is quiet. But as soon as there are distractions, she does not want to eat the kibble.?
?Why does my puppy focus so well for the trainers during classes? She really seems to enjoy her interactions with them.?
Professional trainers hear comments like these from our dog teams every day. Owners are completely baffled as to why their puppies or dogs refuse to focus on them amid the distractions of daily life. How can this be, they wonder? Their dogs love the dog food at breakfast and dinner, so there should be no need to introduce new treats. These owners truly believe that feeding kibble is reinforcing in any environment.
