Pet Botanics training treats

Are the dog treats healthy

I have done a lot of research on what is healthy and unhealthy for dogs. Dog training treats ingredients to make sure that they are healthy for my dogs.

This particular bag I was reading the back of it to see if in fact it all good stuff was.

So, it’s made with peas, dried eggs, brown rice, and peanut butter this is just some of the ingredients that are good for your pet.

Pumpkin for example can help regulate bowel movements which in return can help with constipation and diarrhea.

Dried eggs are very good source of protein.

Brown rice has vitamin B and D which is good for your pup’s heart health and can provide energy and again is also a good source of fiber.

Sweet potato ingredient is something to look for in a treat as well great source of vitamins and helps with growth (for a puppy) and vision.

Now there is a bunch more healthy ingredients for these treats that are good for dogs.

Purpose of training treats

1. Positive Reinforcement:

• Treats can be used as a reward for completing desired actions, such as sitting, staying, or following a command. 
• This positive reinforcement makes the dog associate the action with a pleasant outcome, encouraging them to repeat it. 
• You should give them one immediately after the behavior is performed, which helps the dog make the connection between the action and the reward. 

2. Motivational Tool:

• Dogs can be naturally motivated by food, and treats can be used to get their interest and get them focused. 
• High-value treats (like meat or cheese) can be particularly effective for challenging behaviors or when distractions are present. 
• By using treats as a reward, trainers can make learning more engaging and fun for the dog. 

3. Building a Strong Bond:

• Positive reinforcement with treats can help build a stronger bond between the owner and the dog. 
• Dogs learn that they are more likely to receive treats and praise when they cooperate and follow instructions. 
• This can also lead to a more relaxed and enjoyable training experience for both the dog and the owner. 

4. Luring and Rewarding: 

• Treats can be used as a lure to get a dog into a desired position (e.g., sitting) by moving the treat to guide their head.
• Once the dog is in the position, the treat can be given as a reward, reinforcing the behavior.
• This method can be particularly helpful for teaching new behaviors.

5. Learning through Association:

• By consistently pairing treats with specific behaviors, dogs learn to associate the action with the reward. 
• This process helps them understand what is expected of them and helps the learning process. 
• Over time, the dog will learn to perform the desired behavior even without the treat as a reward. 

Did the training treats work

So, do they actually work? My 3 dogs love those treats they could get enough of them. Every time I walked in with them, they just automatically sat down. I use them to teach my male Shepard to shake hands, and if you know Shepards males are very stubborn.

My 2-year-old Shepard Willow turned into learning machine with these treats she was trying new things that I was trying. The treats gave me the upper hand, and she was learning because she knew there was a reward at the end.

You definitely have to have patients when it comes to training, it will take reptations to get them to understand the trick or behavior you wish them to have.
