Treats are reinforcement as they are offered following a behavior, making that behavior more likely in the future
We want to make training and asking our dogs for mutually compatible behaviours as fun and enjoyable as possible.
This doesn’t change the fact that we are asking our dogs to work for us. To do something they might not naturally choose to do.
Just like our dogs, we know our motivation would drop without payment, and we would stop showing up. Most importantly we would loose respect for our boss, not gain it.
