My Puppy Won't Take Treats In Training (How To Fix It)

It is incredibly frustrating when you buy a bag of training treats, only for your puppy to sniff them and walk away. If your puppy isn't interested in food, training can feel impossible, but often, the issue isn't the dog, it's the delivery. In this video, Instructor Kayl works with Harley, a 10-week-old Cavapoo with "low food drive," to show you how to use movement, higher-value rewards, and engagement games to make food the most exciting thing in the room. What We Cover: - How to test if your puppy is actually low drive or just distracted. - The secret to using treats and when to switch to high-value rewards. - How to use the "Get It" game to reset your puppy's attention. - Why handling and touch are crucial parts of your early training sessions. The first month at home is critical to your puppy’s success. Our new first month Puppy Training Journal makes it easy to track routines, measure progress, and stay consistent, so you can train with confidence.
