How Do You Reward a Puppy (with Video)

Puppy Puppy Training & Behaviour Puppy Expert Advice

-Hi everyone. My name is Laura V and this is Teddy and together we're going to show you some basic puppy training all thanks to Best Friends Pets. Now, today we're talking a little bit about rewards. So what are the things that your puppy loves more than anything else in the world? And that's really important because if we can find out what our puppy loves, then we can teach them to work with us. Now, Teddy obviously loves toys, which is great.

 

So I'm getting to know what he's loving. So getting to know what your puppy loves and what they're willing to work for really is so valuable at getting them to do what you want them to do. Now, eventually once you've taught your puppy to do a whole range of different things, you can actually make the rewards a little bit more random. Making the rewards more random, so that means not having the treat every single time you teach your puppy to do something can actually motivate your puppy to want to work with you more. Something really important to note is that you don't always have to use treats to teach your puppy to do wonderful things.

You can incorporate their daily intake of food as well, which prevents their little stomach line from getting too big and also from potentially getting sick. It's also great to note that every single bit of food that your puppy gets they may need to work for. So you might actually wanna put lots of their daily intake of food and some treats as well into treat dispensers, to get your puppy to think so that then they can use their brain better.

And that's much better than this getting one big bowl of free food. So remember it doesn't just have to be treats. It can be a very healthy daily intake of food that you're awarding your puppy for too.
