Training your dog can be a rewarding experience, and using treats like our natural, artisan dog biscuits can make it even more enjoyable. At Bullie Bakerie, we create homemade dog biscuits that are perfect for reinforcing good behavior and teaching new tricks. In this blog post, we'll share three simple training exercises and explain why our 2x2cm biscuits are ideal for these sessions.
**1. Teaching "Sit"**
"Sit" is often one of the first commands dog owners teach their pups. Start by holding one of our bite-sized dog biscuits above your dog's nose, then slowly move it back over their head. As they follow the treat with their eyes, they should naturally lower their bottom into a sitting position. When they do, immediately reward them with the biscuit and give praise. This positive reinforcement helps your dog associate sitting with a tasty reward.
**2. Practicing "Stay"**
Once your dog has mastered "Sit," you can move on to "Stay." After your dog sits, show them a biscuit, then take a step back while saying "Stay." If they stay in position, reward them with the biscuit and praise them. If they move, gently guide them back and repeat the command. Using small, low-calorie biscuits like ours is crucial for this exercise, as it allows for multiple repetitions without overfeeding.
**3. Learning "Shake"**
To teach "Shake," start by having your dog sit. Hold a biscuit in one hand and gently lift their paw with the other hand while saying "Shake." As soon as their paw is in your hand, reward them with the biscuit and plenty of praise. This trick is fun and engaging, strengthening the bond between you and your dog.
