Some dogs don't go for treats like others do. Try freeze-dried beef liver, that tends to always be a winner. Petting and praise are also rewards in your dog's mind though.
You can plan on doing mini "training sessions" with your puppy when they are a little hungry and more receptive to treats. Maybe give your puppy half its breakfast, then have it do some tricks with treat rewards before giving it the rest of its breakfast. Or, have it do a couple of tricks before a meal (just don't go overboard with training because they ARE hungry after all). |
