• Vocal Rewards
• Body Gestures
• Avoid Food Rewards

Use ample voice and gesture rewards, like petting and praise. Avoid giving food rewards for just any good behavior, rather save treats for specific training. Don't fatten your dog by overfeeding. You should adjust meals to account for the additional treats while training.

Good girls !

         Your dogs by nature want to please you. Special attention, with vocalizations, petting and massage become the best rewards. Playing fetch and performing tricks / tasks actually becomes a reassuring bond with your dogs. Routine time spent in these activities is very important. Dogs depend on routines and are often upset when routine activities abruptly stop. Leave your dog while on a  vacation or extended trip with someone who knows your play routine and will spend time soothing your dog with petting and stroking.
