training

Choose safe locations, vary one challenge at a time, and record when a recall needs an easier setup.

Treats are neither bribery nor mandatory. Used well, they make learning clearer. Used poorly, they make daily routines chaotic.

Using food in training does not have to mean too many calories. What matters is fitting snacks into the full day instead of letting them run alongside it.

Choose one observable action, mark it clearly, and place the reward where the next successful repetition can begin.

Coordinate rewards across family members and convert extras using calorie information rather than replacing kibble by eye.
