I have always used a single piece of kibble as my primary reward treat. It is all I used for the first year I had Max. Keep in mind that if your pup is a really big eater, even kibble may add up. I take into account how many kibble rewards I give during the course of they day and then adjust meals accordingly.
Keep the treats light and small. Verbal praise and excitement go a long way. |
I didn't read your post until after my last post. I will keep all this in mind. I don't want to over do it. I am going to give the cheerios a try. But the packaged treats from petco are definitely a no. He doesn't care for them. I thought cheese may be a bit much at his age.
