But, My Dog Isn’t Food Motivated

 

If I had a dollar for every time I’ve heard this, I’d be sitting on a private island somewhere retired right now.  And honestly, before I was a trainer, before I knew better, I said the same thing about my BooBoo.  It’s easy to jump to that conclusion if you’re trying to get your dog to do something and they’re not doing it even though you’re offering food.  But usually there’s something else going on.  Let’s dive into this in this week’s From The Archives series. Read it here! And if you’re interested, you can also read my post on Why Food Isn’t Bribery.

But, my dog isn’t food motivated!

You’re not alone in your journey!  I am here to help you if you need it!

Happy training!
