When And How To Give Healthy Made In USA Dog Treats

By Claudette Lambert


Giving dog treats in America is not just a way of expressing love for a dog. It can also be a technique of rewarding notable behavior together with a critical dog training component. A factor that makes made in USA dog treats so efficient during training is the excellent smell sense of a dog. They are capable of not only smelling a treat when it is as far as twenty yards away, but also know the main ingredients. All in all, not all treats are manufactured equal. Below are guidelines for how and when to provide dog treats.

A Treat should be used to reinforce a submissive and calm state. They should never be used to reward an over-stimulated and excited state of mind. The canine should always be allowed to smell the treat first, but holding it away from them to wait. Bearing in mind that they are capable of smelling from a long distance, the treat does not have to be put under the nose.

When the canine has gotten the scent, at first it may jump around, maybe jumping on the feeder. If this is the case, the trainer can indicate disapproval using their attitude and body language by gradually moving back or to one side, and then waiting. The owner should get comfort from the fact that his or her display of patient will bear fruit by having a well-behaved animal lasting lifetime.

The dog will probably want to know what is has to do so as to get the treat after some time. They will show this by lowering their butt to the floor and looking up expectantly to the trainer. At this exact calmness moment, the treat is given. However, one should remember they are not used to make an excited animal calm, but to make it adopt a behavior of submissiveness and calmness.

The ideal moment of providing them in the time between meals. It is vital to choose a treat that will be enjoyable to the canine. A good idea is to save the most sumptuous and delicious ones for last to re-introduce interest in case the animal is bored. Should they be used as training tools, they might not be of any use if provided once the dog has eaten. As opposed to being given prior to and after meals, the best time is in between them.

A notable technique is whereby the teat is held by one hand between two fingers and a thumb. The canine is allowed to smell it to know it is available, while following the rule of nose first followed by eyes and ears. By engaging the dogs nose, the trainer appeals to the most important part which is the brain.

Then, as the canine starts sniffing and getting interested, the treat is gradually lifted above height of the nose and slowly moved above the head and back heading to the shoulders. The aim of doing this is to make the canine lifts up its head.

When choosing made in USA dog treats, the owner should ensure that they are something appropriate to give a dog. If it is made of ingredients that the owner cannot pronounce or recognize, it is probably not the best.
