The dog training can be easier, more effective and a lot more fun for you and your dog if you use food.

When training, you communicate to your dog what you want, and you motivate him to do it.

Food can help with both because it is an easy way to get your dog’s attention. You have something he wants, so he will do almost anything to learn how to get it.

When you get a treat and attach it to your dog’s nose like a magnet, and slowly draw him to the floor, like a magic he’s going to lie down. And the motion you make with your hand becomes a hand signal when you no longer need the food.

You can make your dog what you want without punishment. The use of food to motivate your dog work like a reward, and utilizes the psychological principle of positive reinforcement, which says that it will increase the probability that the behavior preceding it will occur again. Example, when you call a dog and he gets the treat when he comes, he is more likely to come the next time you call.

Training with food is good for dogs of all ages and all breeds. It is a good tool to build the confidence of shy and aggressive dogs.
