Make it worth their while…
Think about the value of the reward you give your dog when training, especially when training something new.
To put it in simple terms, think of these two scenarios;
1) I ask you to get me some shopping and say “Thank you” when you return. Would you do it again for me? (Yes, No, Maybe if you have time?)
2) I ask you to get me some shopping at give you £50. Would you do it again for me? (Yes, No, Maybe?)
Most people will answer Scenario 1 as No / Maybe, but nearly all will answer Scenario 2 as Yes. This is the same for your dog. Give a high reward and they will want to do it again.
A high reward is something your dog LOVES and only comes out when training such as liver cake, cheese, toys they love or a game.
