Description

It's great to train with food, but don't forget to harness the powerful "environmental" rewards that are right at your fingertips! These "real life rewards" -- like sniffing something, going through the gate to the walk, hopping up on the couch, or greeting someone -- are powerful reinforcers. Make the most of them by linking them with the behavior you want to see.  (And make sure they aren't unintentionally reinforcing behavior you don't want!) Learn how to use these functional rewards and you'll enrich your relationship, creating fantastic daily habits that put you in happy sync with your dog.
