How you reward your dog should really be the dog’s choice. I’ve used a TONNE of food for rewarding Pickle over the years but over the weekend we went to a new park with him. I called him to front to check his ears were working - I knew he was super keen to get back to exploring so instead of giving him a food reward, I released him back to doing what he wanted. I had food with me too but the fact he trotted off when I said “free” shows that he didn’t want food in that situation.
