The Danger of Using Certain Toys as Rewards in Detection Dog Training
In this video, we discuss the dangers of using certain toys as rewards in detection dog training. Dog toys like Kongs and Tennis Balls are commonly used but they come with certain dangers and risks. Alternatively, we recommend using rolled up scented cotton towels, tied off with cotton string, as a primary reward.
=========================
When people have specific training questions we recommend that they go to our website and post those questions in the ASK CINDY on the front page of leerburg.com. Cindy has been training dogs since she was a teenager and has competed in several dog sports at a regional and national level. She was also a vet tech and owned a boarding/training and grooming business for many years as well as breeding working Dobermans and Belgian Malinois under the kennel name Kaiserhaus.
Questions posted to ASK CINDY are answered almost every day. They are also recorded in our systems if a dog owner has additional questions Cindy will review the previous Q&As and this helps her give better feedback and assistance.
