At first, most dogs work only for incentive and quick payment, just like us, so successful training initially essentially requires happy motivation and healthy praise combined with a quick food reward to help teach the dog why he should do what you say. I use Tibbe's regular kibble so he's not getting extra calories and he responds wonderfully to it.
