Well, I couldn't use treats for Gracie because she was not a good eater as a puppy. I was having a really hard time getting her to eat her food and if I gave her training treats that was all she would eat. She was trained mostly with positive re-enforcement. Lot's of praise worked really well for her.
As long as your dog has a healthy appetite and is eating the right amount of puppy food it should be alright to use small treats to motivate him. Just use something really healthy that does not upset the stomach. |
