Why doesn't my fearful dog like treats? (Finding your dog's food motivation)

You want to use treats to improve your fearful dog's quality of life.  Treats are an important part of many enrichment games, and in skill- and confidence-building training games.  But, your dog frequently ignores food. What to do? 

In this video, I talk about how to find your dog's food motivation, and go over several examples starring some of my student dogs who haven't always been very enthusiastic about treats. 

What do you think? Do you now have more insight into why your dog refuses food? Have ideas for what to try next? Shoot me an email at [email protected] and tell me about it!
