I dont have a clue how to help stop him from doing that. But, I gave my dogs treats for tricks and for pottying outside and as time went by, I would give them a treat sometimes just because I felt like it, when they would come in from pottying, I would say good girls. and Now I only give a treat when I feel like it or just when I decide to. But they do tricks without the treats and also go outside without getting them. I think its fine to start them out with them for a while but to me, it should be a sometimes thing so they dont just go do things for a treat. sometimes, they are just sitting and if i walk by the treats I'll call them in there and give them one and their happy and i'm happy. But I no longer give them for everything they do. that can get expensive for 2 dogs everytime they do something. mine get more plain cheerios than anything. |
