10 Essential Puppy Training Tips + Why High-Quality Treats Matter
Training a puppy takes patience, consistency, and, most importantly, the right rewards. Using high-quality treats (hint hint: Remy’s Kitchen Treats) not only keeps your pup engaged but also ensures they’re getting the best nutrition while learning. Here’s how to set your puppy up for success:
1. Start with Basic Commands
Begin with sit, stay, and come. These foundational commands build confidence and set the stage for more advanced training.
2. Use Positive Reinforcement
Reward good behavior immediately with praise and treats to create a strong association.
3. Keep Training Sessions Short
Puppies have short attention spans. Aim for 5-10 minute sessions to keep them engaged.
4. Be Consistent
Use the same commands and reward system every time to avoid confusion.
5. Train in a Distraction-Free Environment
Start in a quiet space before gradually introducing distractions.
6. Use High-Value Treats
The better the treat, the more motivated your puppy will be! Remy’s Kitchen treats are nutrient-dense, grain-free, and perfect for training.
7. Don’t Overdo the Treats
Balance treat rewards with affection and verbal praise to avoid overfeeding.
8. Socialization is Key
Expose your puppy to different environments, people, and other dogs early on.
9. Practice Patience
Every puppy learns at their own pace. Stay positive and avoid punishment-based training.
10. End on a Positive Note
Always finish training with a success and a tasty reward!
Why High-Quality Treats Matter
Not all treats are created equal. Low-quality treats often contain fillers and artificial additives that can upset your puppy’s stomach or lead to long-term health issues. Remy’s Kitchen treats are:
✅ All-natural and nutrient-rich
✅ Perfectly sized for training rewards
✅ Easy on sensitive tummies
✅ Delicious and pup-approved
