🐾 Training Your Puppy with Natural Treats: Tips from Pawsitive Treats

Bringing home a new puppy? Congratulations — and welcome to the fun (and sometimes frustrating) world of training! 🐶 At Pawsitive Treats, we believe positive reinforcement is the key to raising a well-behaved, confident, and happy pup. And of course, natural treats play a starring role in that process.

Here are our top tips to make training smooth, successful, and filled with tail wags.

🎯 1. Start Simple — and Reward Often

Basic commands like sit, stay, and come lay the foundation for good behaviour. Use small, tasty treats as immediate rewards the moment your puppy does what you ask.

🐾 Try this:
Break up our Sausage Treats into smaller pieces — perfect for fast-paced sessions without overfeeding.

⏰ 2. Keep Sessions Short & Sweet

Puppies have short attention spans (just like toddlers!). Aim for 5–10 minute training bursts, a few times a day.

💡 Pro tip: Always end on a positive note — even if it’s just getting a “sit” right. That way, your puppy will look forward to the next session.

🐕 3. Use High-Value Treats for Big Wins

Some commands are trickier than others — like leave it or recall. For these, use your pup’s absolute favourite treat to really grab their attention.

🥇 Try this:
Our Luxury Pates are a big hit for those high-value rewards. They’re tasty, healthy, and naturally irresistible.

🧠 4. Be Consistent with Cues

Always use the same word or hand signal for each command. Mix it up, and you’ll only confuse your pup. Consistency helps them learn faster — and builds your bond over time.

👂 Bonus tip: Dogs read tone and body language, too. Stay calm and confident when giving commands.

❤️ 5. Celebrate the Little Wins

Training isn’t just about perfect obedience — it’s about communication, patience, and trust. Even if progress is slow, celebrate each step forward.

🎉 Treats aren’t just rewards — they’re encouragement. A tasty bite says, “Yes! You’re doing great!”
