So we are in puppy training with Toby. It is going well but we are finding that he wants to "work" just to get treats. When we say leave it, he will leave it but then expect a treat. This happens with every little thing. To teach drop it (we use the words Thank you) he is doing well but wants a treat every time he drops a toy. He is getting food driven but his trainer wants us to treat him EVERY time he does what he is supposed to do or does without asking. Like sitting and looking at our eyes, if he does this on his own we are supposed to treat him.
I don't want to give him so much because we are cutting his food down just to give treats. I can't not give him food at all.
What do I do when we are not in a home "training session" but he does what he is told when told to like "leave it"?
