Is it true that some treats work better than others when training a dog?

I’ve made progress with my dog training this evening. I got him to lay down. Twice. And he is finally going outside when I tell him to instead of pouncing on me. Yes!

Anyways, I’ve read (or maybe seen on a show) once that strips of meat work better when training a dog than biscuits. Is this true?

Thanks in advance! :D

Progress! :D !!!
Thank you all very, very much! I’ll definitely take these with me next time that I go to town! :D

Dina Zaphiris on Americas Dog Trainer (1 of 2)

Learn more at www.DogStarDaily.com & www.DinaZaphiris.com Dina has a dog thats learned to run away when she bends down to pick anything up, creating a real safety hazard. Its great to have a dog that loves fetch, but you dont want your dog to bolt every time they think you might throw something. Fortunately its easy to train your dog to come as a part of fetch. And to make it a little more fun, we can have them run through our legs while theyre at it. By incorporating recalls into their favorite game, youll end up with a very reliable come command.

Dog Training – What are people more interested in, Training Puppies or Training Adult Dogs ?

Hey, I’m in the process of putting together a website full of free articles regarding dog training. One of my stupid New Year resolutions.

What’s the best treat to give my dog during training?

I have a 12 week old female english bull terrier and we’re trying to get a head start by training her at home. She’s enrolled in a wonderful private dog training facility but she doesn’t start until she’s 16wo. She’s very food motivated but I feed her high quality dog food (taste of the wild bison), and I don’t want to just give her any old treat.

What are some brand names of high quality treats that are easy to give to puppies when training?

TIA

What do you think is the most fundamental misunderstanding people hold about dog training?
Ok, I am assuming that these people think they are trying to train, not that the puppy came fully loaded with excellent behavior. Although those people do drive me batty. ;)
