It's not necessary. She knows that if she does a good thing she gets her treat and if she doesn't ... no treat!  |
I fully agree. I plan to try the clicker training method. It seems to really drive home to the dog that they did something good. When you crated your baby at night, did you provide a potty area? I was told by the breeder not to put a potty area in the crate because that teaches them to potty in their "den" but then what am I supposed to do for them when I know full well they can't hold it for long?
