What Treats Reinforce Good Behaviors In A Dog

Treats that enforce good behavior in your dog really depends on your dog. We're taking about food treats. Some dog owners only use praise or a clicker for their dog's.

Truffles is a very picky dog. He didn't like peanut butter or cheese. He didn't like the first three bags of dog treats I bought. I had to buy dog treats with at least three different flavors to find out what he likes.

When we go for walks, Truffles could care less about treats and wants to sniff the bushes. I'm going to have to do a treat test so I know what he will eat too reinforce his good Behaviors while on walks.

Basically. what I will do is put out several treats while the dog is in a different room. Then let him out and see what treat he like best. That treat will be my reinforcing treat for good behavior only when on walks.

ABC Of Dog Behaviors

Image
  In ABA therapy, you want to look at a behavior and what brought about the behavior you don't want.  So you will break the behavior down to three parts easily remembered by "the ABC of behaviors." A stand for at antecedent or in other words, what happened before the behavior. (The dig was laying on the bed.) B stands for the behavior. When their was a knock at the door, (the dog started barking loudly and jumping around.) C stands for consequence. If no consequences or reward given, the behavior continues. If you reward this bad behavior you don't want, it will continue, as the dog has no clue you want a different behavior.  (Telling your dog to come to your side and reinforcing that behavior with a treat, praise, or clicker.)

Dog Emergency Box

Image
  One of the things I did with parents of autistic children is come up with a list of what their child loved doing the most for long periods of time without a lot of supervision. When parents are busy and need to keep their children even busier with little supervision, they pulled out the list. These activities were not something the child would do daily or all the time. It's was for those emergency situations. You can do the same with your dog. Place items on a box and when an emergency arises, get the box. Place in the box: 🐶Special bone 🐶Special toy 🐶Special flavor to lick 🐶Special Crinkle Toy 🐶Special Puzzle Box The special item has to keep your dog busy for at least a half hour. Truffles box has a buffalo bone, a licking matt that I put cottage cheese or yogurt on, and an interactive treat toy.
