My own Millie-Moo is back on our grid this week, and she just wanted to answer a common question, and tell you all about why we only ever use high quality training treats (such as our favs, JR Pet Products) at Paws & Progress Dog Training:
So firstly, when treats are made from simple, real ingredients (often single-source proteins, grain-free, and free from fillers) they’re not just healthier, they’re clearer communication tools. The right treat motivates without upsetting tummies, keeps energy levels stable, and allows dogs to stay focused and balanced.
Reactive, anxious, or over-excited dogs in particular, also often struggle with internal regulation - and that can be made worse by low-grade ingredients, added sugars, or synthetic flavourings. Good quality, natural food instead supports calmness, clear thinking, and consistency.
So when we choose what to reward with, it isn’t ever about brand loyalty or fancy packaging. It’s about respecting our dogs enough to fuel their training with the same care we put into every session.
