👇You want to train with toys but your dog doesn’t care for them.
That’s because you haven’t learned how to build DRIVE for toys… yet.
And so – your dog can learn new exercises with food rewards…
But you cannot seem to unlock insane levels of motivation.
(Which is EXACTLY what you need for high stakes missions.)
So here’s how you build ‘toy drive’:
While you’re still training with food…
Add LOTS of play sessions with toys outside of training.
You must always start training with food, but at the same time, get the dog used to WANTING toys.
After a while…
You’ll realize your dog would literally jump into a bush full of thorns for the reward.
(Not that you want that, of course, but that’s the level of desire you need if you want to train working dogs).
If you want to see how I use food and toy rewards in my training…
How to know when to switch from one to the other…
And especially important – WHEN to reward the dog…
I’ll send you my free core video.
Just comment “Core” (of “Basis video” voor Nederlands), and I’ll send it to you ASAP.
