Edible treats are the expected prize but different treats could be verbal commendation and playthings. Many shorter training sessions are demonstrated to be better than one long one. Training shouldn’t involve any degrading components or consequences. There should be no shouting, no smacking or hitting, no leash yanking on training chains or collars, and absolutely no electric shocking! Each training session must be pleasant and confidence-building with praise for jobs well done.
