Why a Treat Bag Holder is Essential for training Golden Retrievers

 

As we all know our goldens are foodies, they love food so the best way to train them is by using treats and what could be more motivating then attaching a treat bag holder to their leash. Golden retrievers are very intelligent and loving and they love to please and honestly you can get them to learn new tricks quickly if the motivation is food. So the Pupr treat bag holder has become one of the best accessories for training a golden retriever.

The treat bag holder or dog treat pouch holds the treats or rewards in reach and readily available so you could reinforce the right outcome at the perfect time which has a lasting impact on the dogs brain while they are being trained as they learn with positive reinforcement and repetition. We at Pupr understand the dogs psychology and believe that training sessions should be thoughtfully planned with functional accessories that make these sessions fun and targeted for both you and your furry friend be it a labrador, an indie or a shih tzu.

How does a treat bag holder support positive reinforcement during training?

Research shows that positive reinforcement and repetition are the most effective methods of training any brain be it human or dogs, and since our pets thrive on our praise, attention and of course treats, what could be the most effective pet accessory other than a treat holder. Keeping a treat bag or dog pouch ready and handy helps us to

  • Instantly reward good behavior or desired action
  • Helps build a strong correlation between action and reward (treat)
  • Keeps treats readily available and fresh
  • Keeps training sessions consistent and efficient

The training could be simple for a puppy like sit, stay or fetch or it might be more advanced like walking on a leash, staying calm in traffic, the Pupr treat bag holder makes sure your Golden Retriever, German Shepherd, Border collier or a Poodle stays attentive and motivated.
