You must have come across the method of treat training while researching ways in which you can introduce some manners and discipline to your furry bundle of joy.

Treat training is one of the most commonly used methods to train pets in a friendly way.

However, before you set on your mission, you need to not only have patience, consistency, and lots of understanding for your pet, but also a guide that can help you achieve your mission.

This blog post will help you with treat training and how it can make your and your pet’s life easier.

Here’s How Treat Training Works

So, what is treat training, anyway?

Treat training is teaching your pet to do the ‘right’ things by rewarding them for their deed.

Technically speaking, it is based on positive reinforcement, which enhances the chances of that behavior being repeated.

For example, your puppy, who regularly pees wherever he wanders, understands your cues and pees outside. You get impressed and offer him his favorite treat, as a reward.

This treat acts as the positive reinforcement that your puppy needs to repeat that behavior, in this case, peeing outside.

Positive reinforcement can also be in the form of letting your puppy play with his favorite toy, play sessions, praise, and affection.

Your furry pal must know that his behavior is appreciated.

In this manner, you can not only fix their behavior but guide their schedules and teach them a variety of ‘good boy’ behaviors!

However, when we offer them tasty food to do something, it appears to them, like..... what easy money seems to us!

While other forms of training may add to that stress, treat training feels like a rewarding game! In this way, while getting trained, you smartly reducing most of the stress

Interestingly, treat training can also build your dog's IQ.

Making them use their brain to find their treats or using treat dispensing toys of various difficulty levels can make this task cognitively beneficial for your pet!

For them, you give them immense happiness, and they would strive to do all it needs to make you happy!
