Training Starter Pack with Sweet Potato and Large Lead

Using the Treats

These treats should be used for dedicated training sessions as a rapid reward. Remember, for most behaviors you'll only need one treat (or even half of a treat) to reward correct behavior.

It is recommended to slowly introduce new treats to your dog's diet.

Using the Long Lead

Long lead leashes allow you to train your pup on more difficult behaviors while staying in control of the situation. And in the beginning, you need control. If you lose control, you risk setting your dog up for unsuccessful training sessions.

If you try and teach a dog recall or to stay with distance without a long lead, you’ll probably end up chasing a pup that’s running away from you. Not only that but using a long lead keeps your pup safe during training. Not just safe from danger, but from becoming lost or stolen!

Using the Tug Toy

Biting, chewing, and other problem behaviors often require redirection. Redirect those teeth to something they should chew on, like this tug toy!

It’s the perfect size for playing impromptu games of tug, expending some of your pup’s energy, and keeping their teeth where they should be (not sinking into your hands!).
