Tricks for Treats! Treats are
a great motivational tool for your dog. ALL dogs are motivated by food, contrary to popular belief. Some more than others,
some treats are a higher value, and of course your dog's satiation will also play a role in how much he wants treats at
any given moment, but the bottom line is that treats are a training tool not to be ignored because, well they work!! Nemo says: Treats!? Yeah I love treats! Cookies, snacks, yummies,
goodies, treats, whatever you call 'em I'm a connoisseur of treats. I have made a list of some of my favorites!
I am sure your dog will love them too.
