Treat Training Your Dog - How to Reward with Treats and not get BIT - Robert Cabral Dog Training 

Thank you for doing this video. Once again I have learned where I messed up with Sarge. When training him he can sometimes be a little rough taking the treat. This technique I will start today. Thank you again for what you do and have a Merry Christmas.

I tried this and the treat would not stay in my hand the way you do it. I wish you would spend more time showing the position of the treat ..I think you have it between your thumb and first 3 fingers..when I try that it slides out..and/or just doesn't stay. I also think my dog bites my fingers to much...something so simple...ugh

This exactly the video I needed. Thank you. She’s learned the “easy” command but I didn’t start luring early enough and the cupped lure is what I was struggling with. At the moment, that’s the only real issue we’re struggling with as all your other videos have helped to make her a great dog. She’s a solid black GSD by the way and she turned 5 months today. Thanks so much, Robert.

A great video! People are always worried because I place my fingers in my GSD's mouth. I tell her easy once and that's it. Too bad I fractured my finger on left hand by improperly holding her leash or I'd use my left hand as a better guide when needed.

The German command for “easy” is usually “langsam”. Just in case you were wondering...

Hi Robert, my dog was taking treats gently but since I started luring he’s chomping at my whole hand now! Am I moving to fast possibly? I’m assuming I can use this technique in the video and still lure him in position.

Thanks. Another dimension in safely treating large highly food motivated dogs.

brilliant robert i thought my lab that using "easy" but i didnt push here back just kept saying "easy" until she did not snap the food,they do learn quickly

What treats do you recommend? I have some tiny (3 cals/treat) but it looks like you're using a larger treat? Is it some sort of jerky?

Hi! I love your videos! I have a harness question. Where should a harness wrap under the dog? I know it shouldn’t be too close to the front legs, but can it be too far back? I just got a onetigris firewatcher harness. It wraps under her belly right where it starts to go up, end of rib cage. Is that ok? She’s a husky, maybe mixed with shepherd. It’s a size large. Or other smaller husky wears the medium.

What kind of treats do you use? Also saw you using some kind of cheese?? Thanks

Hi Robert, love your videos, recently subscribed. My dog is very easy to train with treats, the only issue is that she gets overly excited for them in anticipation if we are training. She does what I want her to do but her food drive is her strongest. Anything you recommend to over ride that high drive and encourage a bit more restraint?

This method really works. Thank u robert. I saw ur video with Duane o mater. Thats when i trained my male gsd puppy. He had a rlly hard mouth. And it worked right away. Cant thank enough.

My dog never has issues with taking treats, but the last few weeks I’m working on focused heel in the evening outside, when my fingers are really cold. Then it does hurt if she nibbles a bit on my fingers, so I will try this, thanks!

Great looking sable

Has a head cold....still gets great videos out. Thanks Robert.

Using these tips my one cat went from chomping at my fingers frequently (mistaking them for hotdogs or something idek) to having the softest mouth in the world. She takes little nibbles and almost bites like a grandma who has her dentures in with the lips closing over the teeth. He goes in so slowly for my hand there’s zero concern he’d bite me anymore. My other nearly feral guy has one eye, so his depth perception is crap. He also gets aggressive near food- scarfing it down. He nipped me accidentally and there’s was bleeding, prompting me to find this video. , . It was really scary to shove my hand at his mouth again but literally in two afternoons, he’s way more passive. He basically doesn’t lunge, opens his mouth and let’s me roll the treat in in, and if I miss he looks to the ground where he knows that’s where the treat went. Because of the trigger word he’s not stressed any more that I’m going to take the treat away. Thank you! 🙏🙏

What trail is that?

Could you maybe give your 2 cent about the youtuber Deji and his dog Tank... Tank is a male german shepherd who bit a elderly ladie on there property after she hit him with a parcel because he ran at her, Tank could potentially be put down.

Super

At what point do you stop giving treats to reward behavior? What is the weening process?

How do you manage pain from biting? It's insane

Hey robert I have a lab puppy of 3 months. Whenever I try to take away his toy or anything else from him, he does growl and try to bite me. Similar to resource guarding What should I do

I like to build drive to take the treat. I don't give the treat, I want the dog to actively take it from me. I pinch the treat between my thumb and palm, so the dog has to push into my hand to get the treat. I literally do the opposite to this video so they drive hard into my palm.
