How to find a suitable training treat for a dog?

Good training treats are the basis for teaching any workout or trick. The treat allows the dog to be rewarded in a positive way, this way the dog will remember the expected activity well. Through praise and treats, the dog is motivated to offer the expected behavior again, and after a while your dog is an expert!

When choosing a training treat for your dog, there are a few things to keep in mind. The main factors to consider are:

1. Size and texture: the size of the treat could be such that the dog can eat it quickly and he would not spend too much time chewing. In addition, make sure that the treat does not have too strong texture, this also helps to quickly move on with the training.

2. Smell and taste: you know your dog best, choose his favorite flavors as a training treat. The training treat must be motivating. For example there is no point to offer a fish treat if he/she doesn't like it at all. And, of course, sometimes it is benefitial to switch up different favorite flavors.

3. Calories: This is important! Overweight dogs is a very common problem. You shouldn't worry about it during training, just keep an eye on the treats fat content and make sure your dog loves it.
