In this video, I talk about why many nervous dogs refuse treats, and show you how to get started with a simple training game to teach your dog to eat treats more consistently so that you can start to build their confidence using positive reinforcement training.

Once your dog is happily eating treats, you've accomplished the first step in their confidence-building journey!
