When And How To Give Healthy Made In USA Dog Treats

By Claudette Lambert


For American dog owners, giving their pets dog treats more than expresses how much they love them. It is a way of rewarding desirable behavior together with it being a vital training technique. One thing that enables made in USA dog treats to work so efficiently in training is due to the amazing smell sense of the animals. In addition to smell a treat from about twenty yard out, a dog can also get a very good idea of what it is made of. Here is look at the best ways of feeding 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.

Upon getting the scent, the dog may initially start jumping around, in most times jumping on whoever is feeding it. Should this happen, disapproval should be shown through body language and attitude of the feeder. This is done by slowly moving back or to a side, and then laying in waiting. This patience display bears fruit in that the animal will be well behaved throughout its lifetime.

After a while, the dog will probably begin attempting to figure out what has to be done in order to get a treat. It may lower its butt on the floor waiting while looking up in anticipation to the owner. The treat should only be given at that exact moment of calm. The treats should however not be utilized in calming an excited dog, but rather to keep it calm and submissive.

The best time to give them is in between meals. It is important to choose a treat the animal will enjoy. A good technique is to save the most delectable and best ones for last to re-engage a canine should he start losing interest in the training session. If they are being used as tools of training, they will not be as effective right after the animal has had a whole meal. The owner should ensure the treat giving takes place in between meals and not right after or before a meal.

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.

The next step is lifting the treat to the nose at a height above the head, just when the dog is starts getting interest and sniffing. This is done mainly to make it lift its head up, which is a vital part of the training.

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.
