Opinions and literature on this topic are all over the place with different definitions and constructs.

Have you ever stopped to think about which training treats are your dog's absolute favorite? 🤔 Whether it's a classic biscuit, a tasty freeze-dried treat, or a crunchy carrot, every dog has their own preference when it comes to treats. Some pups go crazy for peanut butter, while others can't resist a piece of cheese. It's fascinating to see how each dog has their unique taste preferences just like us humans!

So, let's hear from all the dog guardians out there - what is your dog's favorite treat? Share in the comments below!

🐾 Wondering about the differences between rewards and bribes in dog training? 🤔 Let's break it down!

🏆 Rewards are given to your dog following the performance of a behavior. Like dogs, rewards come in all shapes and sizes. They can be treats, toys, and anything else your dog likes or enjoys.

💰 On the other hand, bribes are some sort of reward that is presented to your dog so that they will comply with your request. It's like saying "I'll give you this treat if you do what I say." While bribes may work in the short term, they can lead to long term frustration due to incomplete training.

🐶 So, what's the key difference? Rewards are given after the desired behavior is completed, while bribes are offered before the behavior as part of the cue.

📝Our recent blog post covers how to use dog training treats effectively, how to use treat for dogs who are picky, and how to figure out which treats are your dog's favorites https://hubs.ly/Q02rtQfb0
