Too Many Treats Can Create a Food Hog of a Dog

Good dog, you sat down, now eat a treat! Good dog, you stopped barking, here, have a treat. Good dog, you came when I called you, how about a treat? Good dog, you went outside to pee, time for your treat. Good dog, you ate all your dinner, now eat a little more...

You get the point. By rewarding your dog with food for normal, socialized behavior, you create a bored little food hog. Whatever happened to just "good dog?" Dogs really love praise and they'll do almost anything to feel they have succeeded in being part of the program. Spare the treats and save the dog from becoming overweight. 


Make sure to show your dog how much you appreciate them by not sending them to a kennel. Leave your dog with one of our amazing WagWatchers.com pet hosts when you’re out of town! We promise he’ll have a vacation he’ll remember forever.
