There are many variations and theories on how to train a dog, but most professional dog trainers will tell you to reward good behavior and negatively reinforce bad behavior. Of course this can be more difficult than it sounds. Many people may end up unknowingly enforcing the bad behavior instead of the good, but with a little effort and knowledge of how a dog learns, even you can teach your dog basic obedience commands. As far as dog tricks go, catching a treat isn't one of the harder tricks, but it's a fun one. In this free video series, a dog trainer will show you how to teach a dog to catch a treat, starting with dry food. You'll learn how to bait the dog, move your hands to steady the dog, and how to motion to toss the treat to the dog's mouth. Next, you'll discover why to throw the treat on the third tossing motion, how to apply the voice, and how repetition will allow you to master the trick. With these tips and techniques, you'll soon have a new and fun trick to teach your dog!
