Finding out your dog's favourite food and least favourite food and treats can really come in handy for your training. With the 'higher value' treats that your dog loves the most - use these in higher distraction environments For 'lower value' treats or food - for maintaining behaviour, and for lower distraction environemnts There are loads of ways of finding out your dog's preferences, but this particular one is one of my favourite experiments. This is called the muffin tray experiment Have a muffin tray, and fill it with different foods - For example, if we had a tray with 6 sections - 1 - brocolli 2 - carrot piece 3 - apple slice 4 - chicken 5 - cheese 6 - a small blob of peanut butter Then give this tray to your dog and see what they go for first Repat this 3 times, just to be sure that they're going for the food in the same order Whichever is the top 3 favourite, you can repeat the experiment with just these, and the same with the least favourite. Or put them against different foods. Have a go, take a video and show me how you get on!

Hello everyone! So sorry but i will need to cancel tonights live call at 8pm - i've had a cold in the past couple of days which has progressed to having pretty much no voice left - and it won't be much of a call if I can't talk! If any of you have any questions or puppy dilemms that you would like to discuss, please comment below or send me a message and we can have a chat about it. In the meantime, check out 'training challenges' in the 'classroom' section of this platform where you can make a start with learning how to teach your dog 'sit when i stop, walk when i walk' Sarah
