There are two easy reward approaches to training that may work for you. Some dogs are food driven, therefore a food reward of a small treat during training works well. Other dogs are more play driven. This may include petting and praising your dog or rewarding him with a favorite toy. If you are using a toy, keep the “reward” play time very short during training. Most dogs respond well to two training sessions a day that lasts about 10 – 15 minutes each. Which ever method you use make sure that you and your dog have fun during training, which will help your dog learn faster.
