We used Cheerios because they are tiny and a whole cup is only 100 calories, so that would make each Cheerio less than a calorie. Regular dog treats are just too big. If you are going to be doing intensive training, it's good to use a high value treat or something they really love, during the learning phase. During the reinforcement phase, you can often just use regular kibble. I used Cherrios for housebreaking training and also as rewards during grooming for being so patient with their mama. |
