Gather several different types of treats and toys and have a taste/toy test party with your dog! Rate each treat/toy and then compile the top ten in order of how much goodness your dog has for each. This is your list of treats you can use for dog training! Use lower value treats when you are teaching them behaviors such as “leave it” to make it easier for them when they are first starting, but use high value treats when you are teaching behaviors such as “Come” because you want them to leave that squirrel for the savory taste and smell of whatever they love the most.
