| Clicker training We have been working with our 3 month old, my question is can you feed them too many treats and how many times a day do you work with them and how long of a period? I have watched a lot of videos on this, but no one every really addresses this and I've noticed our dogs stools are a little loose and I'm afraid we are over doing the treating with trying to housebreak as well. |

| Cooper and I are currently taking obedience classes, and our instructor suggested using kibble and string cheese as well as "high value" treats when training in order to not have the loose stool issue. I haven't tried string cheese yet since Cooper seems perfectly content with his kibble and a few regular treats. She also said to cut back on the amount of kibble you are feeding at meal times if you are treating a lot during the day.
