Food Treats & Verbal Praise For Effective Dog Training: Guide Announced
Dec 18, 2023
Dog Insider, an online resource for pet owners, has released a guide to using food treats and other rewards effectively during dog training sessions.
New York, United States - December 18, 2023 /PressCable/ —
The newly released guide focuses on when to use food versus verbal praise or physical contact, how to choose an appropriate training treat, the efficacy of mixing high-value and low-value rewards, and healthy food treat options.

Dog Insider’s new guide to dog training with treats is part of an ongoing series of articles focused on canine health and wellbeing, designed to help dog owners and their pets thrive across many areas.
Research from the Public Library of Science shows that positive reinforcement during dog training, including the use of rewards like food treats, verbal praise, playing tug-of-war, and petting, is effective in terms of teaching pets new skills without the use of aversive stimuli. The guide from Dog Insider focuses on the use of rewards systems - particularly food treats - as a way for pet owners to bond with their furry friends while also fostering good behavior. “Using treats effectively is the key to making sure that dogs learn quickly and respond appropriately when needed,” says a representative. “Treats can be a great way to motivate and reward your pup when they behave well, but it’s important to understand the right way to use them.”
The guide differentiates between the use of food treats as a training reward and as a bribe, noting that treats are used appropriately to reinforce learned skills and obedience, whereas bribes are a way to try to get a canine to behave in a way that they would not normally do.
Pet owners will also find advice on how to choose training treats that are nutritious and non-fattening, but also appealing enough to create a positive association with training exercises, such as liver or cooked chicken as high-value incentives, and pieces of kibble or vegetables as low-value options.
The Dog Insider experts offer guidance on how to limit the use of treats and use food as a reward in ways that will not disrupt a dog’s focus during a training session.
In addition, the guide contains step-by-step instructions for how to wean a pet off of food treats once the desired skill has been acquired.
