Summary
Does it feel like your trainer just tells you to stuff your dog’s belly full of treats and say then they’re trained? Treats are an essential tool to raising our well-mannered dog but the lesson on HOW to use the treats properly gets lost.
And we really want to avoid that place where your dog will only listen if you have a treat in your hand.
In this episode I talk about:
- Why we use treats.
- What’s the difference between high value and low value treats (and when do we use them).
- How to know when to come away from the treats.
- How to ween your dog off the treats but still have a dog that listens.
Press play and enjoy!

| 0:16.3 | Here's your host, Debbie Salento. |
| 0:41.0 | Hello and welcome to episode 55 of your new puppies podcast. I'm Debbie. And today I'm going to talk about the three skills that I want you to start from day one. |
| 0:42.0 | Now if you've watched my video series the three phases to bringing your new puppy home, you know |
| 0:50.6 | that I don't literally mean day one. |
| 0:53.4 | The first three days your puppy settling in and you don't literally mean day one. The first three days, your puppy settling in, |
| 0:55.9 | and you don't want to, if they're up for it, if they're confident and they're doing well, |
| 1:01.2 | then you can start these. But some dogs still need a little bit those three days to kind of like |
| 1:06.8 | settle in and get used to their family. If you are preparing for a dog and you haven't |
| 1:12.1 | listened to that series, you can find it right on my homepage, playtime pause.com and request |
| 1:18.5 | the link to watch. It's just three videos about the three faces to bringing your new puppy home. |
| 1:24.9 | Okay. So these are just the three most important skills. I believe a |
| 1:30.0 | puppy should learn. And they were going to last throughout their adulthood. One is getting them |
| 1:38.0 | used to being handled, which is part of their socialization as well, teaching them attention. |
| 1:43.5 | So to look at you when you say their name or another |
| 1:47.8 | command, if that's what you choose, and impulse control, which is also known as frustration tolerance. |
| 1:54.6 | Essentially, your puppy needs to learn that they can't have what they want when they want it. |
| 1:58.9 | Of course, I'm going to go over why I think each of these |
| 2:01.3 | are important. And then I will also give you a starting point to help you start to start you off |
| 2:07.6 | because it's a process. It's training. It's something that you're going to work on and you're going to |
| 2:11.9 | teach them throughout their lives. But I'll give you the first steps to help you out. Now, first let's talk about |
