Summary

In this episode, we discuss three possible treat categories - "snacks", enrichment/management, and treats for training, some basic principles for treats selection, how many treats it's ok to give a dog, how snacks matter, but they are different than training treats, what qualities make treats more or less effective for training, why mechanics, timing and delivery, matter more than the actual treat itself, and special cases of training with treats - small dogs and dogs with food allergies.

1:05.0	And, well, to be honest, I'm just not together enough to do that sort of thing. So I thought,
1:10.6	hey, like, what if we think
1:12.5	about what would be gifts for the dogs and what would dogs want? Well, they would probably
