When you are training you need to cut back on the Kibble for that day. If you are feeding treats to train and then feeding him his regular amount of food he is getting double food.

Maybe you could give much smaller treats when in class too. Instead of a 1/4 of a slice of hot dog cut it in half again. Shouldn't they treat be very tiny?
