Training Dogs With Food

In this episode Liane discusses why and how we can train our dogs using food. Training with food, while popular, still faces some common complaints and problems. How do we train with food if the dog doesn't want it? How do we move away from using food so our dog listens all the time? How do we make food more exciting for our dogs? How do we work with a dog so frightened that it won't take food? Liane discusses and trouble shoots each of these issues.

Our goal is to bring you up to date explorations of dog behavior and training in a fun, easily understood (and possibly geeky) manner
