According to pet reporter Yvette Van Veen, it's relatively simple to wean your pet off doggy treats. You just need to follow these simple strategies:
Make sure your pet truly understands the verbal commands and is not simply responding to your gestures and body language.Don't keep rewards on your person. If a dog smells the treats, he knows one is on the horizon.Feed treats in an unpredictable manner. Don't give your pooch a food reward every time he performs a command (start by gradually skipping treats).Use other rewards, such as praise and play.
