Start Here: A Simple Guide to Training Your Dog

Clear, Positive Guidance from Raw Feeding Plus

If you're new to training or want to improve your approach, you’re in the right place.

At Raw Feeding Plus, we take a simple, effective approach built on: nutrition, clear communication, and positive training, backed by over 20 years’ experience.

Follow the steps below to build a strong foundation for your dog.

Step 1: Choose the Right Training Treats

Training starts with the right rewards. The treats you use influence your dog’s focus, motivation, and digestion.

Choosing appropriate, nutritious rewards helps your dog stay calm, engaged, and ready to learn.

Step 2: Learn Clicker Training Basics

Clicker training is a clear, positive way to communicate with your dog. It helps mark the exact moment your dog gets something right.

Using a clicker (or the word “Yes”) together with rewards makes learning faster and easier to understand.

Step 3: Add Interactive Play

Play is an important part of learning. It provides mental stimulation, builds confidence, and helps reduce unwanted behaviour.

Combining play with training keeps your dog engaged and helps reinforce positive behaviour.

Putting It All Together

Effective training is not about one single method — it’s about combining:

Good nutrition and appropriate treats
Clear communication through training
Engagement through play and enrichment

When these work together, dogs learn more confidently, calmly, and successfully.

Start Simple. Stay Consistent.

A few minutes of positive, structured training each day can make a big difference. Focus on small wins, clear communication, and the right rewards.
