Got this interesting dog training question:
“Eric, I’m concerned about using food and treats to train my dog. I don’t want to have to carry around bags of hot dogs to get my dog to do obedience. Thoughts?”
Completely agree, last thing I want is a dog that only responds to me when I am waving a treat around.
That is why it is so important to understand the difference between rewards and bribes.
If you bribe your dog, you will always need treats to get a response.
BUT…
…if you reward your dog, you won’t need treats for your dog to do a command.
It all has to do with when you offer the treat.
A lot of trainers bribe the dog instead of reward the behavior.
I cover this in great detail in the Ultimate Online Dog Training Course.
So if you’re ready to train your dog and learn the correct way to use treats, then the “Ultimate Online Dog Training Course” is for you.

One of the great things about running my website AmazingDogTrainingMan.com is that I get emails from people all over the world.
People write to say how much they love the site, to ask questions about training and behavior and to add input.
This week I received an email from Jacob who asked about what words a dog should understand.
That was a great question and got me thinking. I sat down and came up with a list of 17 words every dog should understand.
Here they are:
1. Name/attention/watch
2. Sit
3. Down
4. Stand
5. Stay
6. Come
7. Heel
8. Lets go
9. Wait
10. Drop it
11. Leave it
12. Off
13. Jump/Hup
14. Speak
15. Quiet
16. Back up
17. Break/okay – release word
In this week’s video newsletter I discuss these 17 words and demonstrate with one of my dogs.
If you own the Amazing Dog Training Man on-line Course all 17 words with explanations and video clips on how to teach each one are now up and on the website.
