This is still something I come up against quite regularly unfortunately. The use of food (and positive reinforcement in general) has come a long way, but still is something people want to limit as much as possible.

The thing is, you get out what you put in. And the reality of learning is that unless it's something intrinsically rewarding that the dog is genetically designed to do already, you are likely going to need to provide other reinforcement to strengthen behaviours you want your dog to do. And food is just such a simple and effective reinforcer in many situations (not all).

Think about strengthening a behaviour like a muscle. Trying to lift too heavy a weight and only managing a few successful reps at the gym, you'll still be stuck doing the same a month later. Instead managing multiple sets of 10 reps adding in small breaks, all in a 20 minute session is going to quickly get success. Overtime you will manage the harder stuff with ease.

When your dog is learning something that is not a "normal" behaviour to them (which is pretty much most of the things we expect dogs to do), a high rate of reinforcement in the beginning will lead to success in understanding and performing the behaviour.

I have my own thoughts on why people struggle with the concept of using lots of food with their dogs, but I would be interested to hear what everyone else thinks?

Positively Contributor and Colorado-based VSPDT Louisa Morrissey discusses dog body language and communication, and how you can better understand what your dog is trying to tell you.

Dogs behave the way they do for many reasons. They do NOT do things deliberately to be stubborn or ‘naughty’, nor do they aim to assert control. Outdated mythologies and training methods have detrimental effects on well-being and strain the relationship between a dog and their caregiver.

🧬A dog's breed and genetic makeup can play a significant role in determining certain behavioural traits. Dogs have genetic predispositions and breed-specific tendencies that contribute to their behaviour.
Some breeds are predisposed to specific behaviours, such as herding, hunting, or guarding.

The environment in which a dog is raised and lives can profoundly impact their behaviour. Early socialisation, which involves exposing a puppy to a wide range of people, animals, and environments during their critical developmental period, is crucial for building confidence and shaping a dog's social behaviour to reduce fear or aggression.

Overstimulation can cause all kinds of unwanted behaviours as it overwhelms their senses and can lead to hyperactivity or erratic responses. For example, if a dog is exposed to loud noises, multiple people, and various stimuli all at once, or on a daily basis, they might exhibit excessive excitable behaviour, poor impulse control, become agitated and exhibit behaviours like jumping, barking, or pulling on the leash, as their senses are overwhelmed by the excessive input.

Previous experiences and learning consequences can influence a dog's behaviour. Traumatic experiences, in particular, can lead to fear, anxiety, or aggression.

How a dog is trained and educated by their caregiver or handler can significantly affect their behaviour. Consistent, positive reinforcement-based training can lead to desired behaviours, while harsh or inconsistent methods can result in confusion or fear.

A dog's health, including their physical and mental well-being, can influence their behaviour. Illness, pain, or discomfort can lead to changes in behaviour.

A dog's emotional state, including fear, anxiety, and excitement, can affect their behaviour. For example, a fearful dog may display unpredictable defensive reactive behaviours or might avoid any encounters and run away trying to hide. While a confident dog may exhibit playfulness and a relaxed demeanour.

A dog can become frustrated and destructive if their mental and physical needs are not met. This dog, full of pent-up energy and boredom, may become frustrated and exhibit poor impulse control. In their frustration, they might resort to destructive behaviours, such as chewing furniture, digging up the garden, or incessant barking. This destructive behaviour is often an expression of their frustration and an attempt to alleviate their built-up energy and mental stress.

The type of diet a dog receives can significantly influence their behaviour, with high-quality nutrition promoting better energy levels, mood, and overall well-being, while poor diet choices can lead to issues like irritability, hyperactivity, or digestive problems.

As dogs age, they may experience canine cognitive decline, which can manifest as changes in memory, learning, and behaviour. This condition can lead to increased confusion, disorientation, and altered social interactions in older dogs.

It is really important to understand that each dog is unique, and their behaviour can vary widely, even within the same breed. Dogs use body language, vocalizations, and other forms of communication to express their needs, emotions, and intentions. Understanding a dog's communication cues is essential for interpreting their behaviour.

My Molly, Pit/Belgium Malinois exhausted after a training session earlier today😁. She is my 7 year old rescue and very very reactive. I have learned how to manage her so I can set her up for success. It truly is not about having to train your dog for hours. It is about only working on one or 2 simple behaviors. The quality of what you are training. Keeping it very short at first. 10 min. Always remember to keep training fun and simple. Your dogs love being around you so help them succeed by giving them the tools they need to please you.😉

To truly comprehend why food is powerful, you must first understand the influence it has on the dog’s brain.

Food has the power to not only enhance a dog’s ability to learn but also to help a dog overcome fear or anxiety by raising the levels of dopamine in the brain and stimulating the desire to seek or move towards the food reward. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that plays a major role in reward-driven learning and helps regulate movement and emotional responses.

The idea for Sniffspot came from a text. It was 2017, and David Adams’s then-girlfriend, now-wife, Rebecca, was traveling with her dog, Toshi, in Baltimore. While she was there, she texted Adams about how hard it was to take care of Toshi’s basic needs while they were traveling. “I wish there was an app where I could find places to let him off leash,” she lamented then. Flash forward to today, and has had over 20,000 hosts sign up in 3,600 cities across the country, and the company averages about 25,000 bookings per month. For anywhere from $5 to $20 an hour, customers can book their own private dog park. This could be a host’s backyard; a vast, multi-acre field; or a space with water features like a pool or a pond — whatever kind of outdoor space your dog could desire, without the hassle of strangers or other dogs bothering them. Tap the link to learn more about Sniffspot, and the benefits of letting your dog explore on their own. https://www.thewildest.com/dog-lifestyle/sniffspot?utm_medium=social-organic&utm_source=fb&utm_campaign=trust&utm_content=sniffspot

Training the Force Free way enables us to have compassion for our animals and allows us to work with individual animal in a caring and respectful way. Since every dog is different and learns in their own way we can teach them to enjoy their lives while encouraging them to learn good behavior and discourage the bad. While training in a positive way this helps the dog to make his own choices and teaches him the good behavior results in rewards.
