Congratulations on bringing home your new puppy, what a joyous and heart-warming occasion, but this new bundle of fur comes with some important responsibilities, as well as the need to set some ground rules from day one. Your puppy will grow into an even-tempered and obedient dog.

When your pup first arrives at your home, it will more than likely be distracted and a little overwhelmed. Nervousness and anxiety can lead to destructive behaviour, so a puppy training program focused on obedience and general good behaviour must start as early as possible.

It’s a question many new pet parents wonder – especially if they are concerned about creating a situation where their dog becomes, food-obsessed.  After all, you want your dog to behave even when you don’t have something yummy in your pocket to entice them, but at the same time wanting your dog to follow commands.  Using treats to train dogs is a tried and true method for good reason: it works.

“Positive reinforcement is the most effective way to train a dog,” says Sean Prichard, a certified canine fitness coach.  And what does positive reinforcement look like when it comes to dogs?”  “Positive reinforcement training simply means the dog gets a reward for desired behaviour,” Prichard says.  “For food-motivated dogs, the easiest and best reward is usually a treat.

We believe LBPT treats are not only healthy with no added preservatives and salt, but our treats are great for training workouts and rewarding and reinforcing the desired behaviour on an everyday basis.
