What happens once you stop food? I always notice my dogs over the years lose motivation if i use treats for training. With this approach how long do you do this with food? i have a 5 month old puppy who knows the come command but i currently only use it in the house when i know she will follow through.
You can use food for the recall as long as you’d like. We just want to get a 100% consistent recall in all situations. If food helps that then great. Once we achieve that consistency, then we start to reduce the food with random reinforcement.
Excellent video. That GSD puppy was adorable!
I agree! That was a fun puppy to work with. Glad you enjoyed it.
This is awesome thanks for the training videos. I will be following you
Thanks Daniel!
