  6. How many treats should you give your dog?
    Reply

    Most dogs will take all the treats they can get, and then some. Treats should not be given often, depending on how you are using them. If you are using them for training, you should limit them even more, which makes the dog realize he has to do something to get the treat. The packaging will usually give a daily maximum, and if you are not in training, then just a few a day would be best.

  7. How can you use treats to train your dog?
    Reply

    One simple and effective means is to give them a treat if they come quickly when you call them. After a while, you can get them to come without a treat, but don't stop them completely. For most dogs, just the possibility that there might be something tasty for coming quickly is enough.

  8. What about different sizes?
    Reply

    Small bites are best for training. Having to cut or break them each time is inconvenient, so getting them small to start with is a good idea. There are bigger treats like bones and so forth, that the dog can chew on for a long time. These might last a day or two.
