Step 1 - Choosing the Right Training Treats

Nutrition‑Led Rewards from Raw Feeding Plus

Training treats are more than just rewards — they are powerful tools that influence learning, focus, behaviour, and wellbeing.

At Raw Feeding Plus, we believe the right treats should support your dog’s health as well as their training, guided by over 20 years’ experience using positive, reward‑based methods.

Why Treat Choice Matters

• Focus and motivation
• Emotional balance
• Digestion and comfort
• Long‑term health

Choosing the right treats helps training stay effective, calm, and enjoyable.

What Makes a Good Training Treat?

✔ Small and Easy to Eat

• Bite‑sized pieces
• Quick to chew
• Keeps training flowing

✔ Highly Motivating

• Strong smell and flavour
• Your dog wants to work for it
• Higher value = harder tasks

✔ Gentle on Digestion

• No stomach upset
• Suitable for repeated use

✔ Nutritionally Appropriate

• Supports overall diet
• Avoids unnecessary fillers

Using Treats Responsibly

Portion Size

• Keep pieces very small
• Adjust daily food if needed

Match Treat to Task

• Higher value for new skills
• Lower value for known behaviours

Keep Training Calm

If treats cause over‑excitement or digestive upset, review your choice. Calm focus is the goal.

Treats and Positive Training

Reward‑based training works best when rewards are clear, consistent, and worth earning. Clicker training and well‑chosen treats work together to create clear communication and confident learning.

The Raw Feeding Plus Approach

• Food influences behaviour
• Quality matters more than quantity
• Treats should support the whole dog

We help owners make informed, experience‑led choices.
