Reward values

 An important point to remember with attention is that most dogs look at what they are interested in, and you want to be that thing that your dog finds interesting. Games are a great way to retain that learning. If you enjoy it, it's more than likely the dog will too! When it comes to the treats that you use, make sure that you use the appropriate treat for the specific environment that you are training in. The kibble that works in the house will probably not work on walks or at the vet's. Be imaginative. A reward's value is dictated by the animal that accepts it. So if your dog doesn't accept your treat, then you have too many distractions or your rewards aren't good enough for that setting.
