People who don't understand positive reinforcement may mistakenly believe that food training doesn't work for dogs because they view it as bribery or manipulation, rather than as a scientifically proven training technique that taps into dogs' natural drives and instincts.

They may also believe that using food as a reward will create a dog that only listens when food is present, rather than understanding that food is gradually faded out as the dog learns the desired behaviour.

In reality, skilled dog trainers use food rewards in a strategic and systematic way to reinforce desired behaviours and teach new ones, and the effectiveness of positive reinforcement with food has been supported by numerous scientific studies.

Myths about Food Training:

Myth: Food training is just bribery and makes dogs reliant on treats.

Fact: While food rewards are a powerful tool for training, skilled trainers use them strategically and systematically to reinforce desired behaviours. As dogs become more proficient in a behaviour, trainers gradually reduce the frequency of food rewards through the process of fading reinforcers. Additionally, positive reinforcement trainers use variable reinforcement schedules to maintain the strength of a behaviour.

Myth: Dogs trained with food will only perform the behaviour when food is present.

Fact: Dogs trained with food rewards can learn to perform behaviours even when food is not present. Skilled trainers use a range of techniques, such as capturing and shaping, to reinforce behaviours and gradually fade food rewards.

Myth: Food rewards are only effective for training certain dogs or breeds.

Fact: Food rewards can be customized and tailored to individual dogs, making the training experience more enjoyable and motivating for them. Different dogs have different tastes and preferences when it comes to food, so using their favourite treats as rewards can be effective for a wide range of dogs.

Myth: Food rewards should be given for any behaviour that the trainer wants to reinforce.

Fact: Skilled trainers pay close attention to their timing and precision when using food rewards. The reward should be given immediately after the desired behaviour occurs to ensure that the dog makes the association between the behaviour and the reward. Additionally, the reward should be given in a precise and consistent manner, to avoid confusion or frustration on the dog's part.

Overall, food rewards are a powerful tool for training dogs, but it's important to use them strategically and systematically. Ethical and skilled dog trainers use food well, because they invest their time, energy and resources into learning how.
