Dog treats are one of the positive reinforcements you can give to your dogs while training. The Humane Society of the United States would define this practice as:

"Positive reinforcement training uses treats and/or praise to reward your dog when he behaves in a way you want him to.

Positive reinforcement is one of the most effective methods for molding or altering your dog's behavior because the reward increases his likelihood of repeating the behavior."

Using healthy dog treats while training your dog can be beneficial to you and your dog.

How to Choose the Healthiest Dog Treats?

• Avoid giving your dog treats that include food coloring and other unfamiliar ingredients.
• Go over the label. Anything after SALT in the ingredient list is less than 1%.
• Avoid salt at all costs; it isn't necessary for pets.
• Don't consume anything with "chicken flavor" or "bacon flavor" written on the packaging. This typically indicates that it does not contain chicken or bacon.
• Do not buy if sugar is listed as the first ingredient. The protein, or fruit in the case of the Fruitables snacks, should always be the first ingredient.
