The Food Factor
Unlock the Power of Food in Dog Training: Overcome Challenges to Maximize Results!
Are you struggling with using food in your dog's training? Or are you avoiding using food altogether?
Do you not use food because you have multiple dogs and at least one is a resource guarder?
Do you feel that your dog should listen to you without using food?
Were you advised by a professional trainer not to use food?
Are you not training with food because your dog isn't food motivated?
Have you tried using treats but found they only work sometimes?
Concerned about overfeeding?
Are you worried that using food will create new behavioral issues?
Do you fear being stuck using food forever?
You’re not alone!
Many dog owners worry that using food in training will create more problems than it solves.
Maybe for you, that has already happened...
(And don't worry, we don't shame people for their training choices in the past or the future...)
But here's the truth:
Food is one of the most powerful tools in dog training—when used correctly.

Course Highlights
Why Food? The key value of using food is not to get a behavior (like getting a dog to 'sit' or 'down'). The key value to using food is how it allows us to influence and change emotions and emotions drive behavior.
The TBTE Protocol for Training with Food: Learn how to: (1) use food productively even with dogs who seem completely food unmotivated, are picky eaters, or have medical restrictions, (2) create behavioral and emotional change; and, (3) how and when to fade food.
Training Food Options: We'll share our recommendations for picky eaters, raw-fed dogs, and dogs with medical issues.
We Address the Most Popular Concerns About Using Food and How to Work Through Them: We cover it all - the disinterested dogs, the overweight dogs, the small dogs, the resource guarders, the excited dogs, the dogs with medical issues, the special diet dogs, AND concerns about "bribing" or "always having to use food for the rest of the dog's life"!
How to Use and Have Success with Food: We share our process and principles for using food and creating an appetitive dog who is interested in engaging in training.
Satiation and Why it Matters: Satiation isn't just about having enough food - it also matters when it comes to a dog's emotional state. We'll explain how and why!

What people have said about TBTE
Holy cow, would you believe it. Not a single bark or boof. We start slow and walk to the park down the street, chill and hang out for a bit. We watched kids play, a yoga session, and passed a couple of dogs. Then we relaxed in the yard. Their reactivity was improving so much, seeing more calm behavior. Really “melting our mountain” down so to speak

I was gone all weekend so I had 30 minutes to make an attempt. My GSD came from a long line of IPO3 K9s. He was absolutely nuts 1 year ago. I began going to a trainer in June of 2020 and I worked and worked and worked. Rocco is very leash reactive to other dogs but he’s come a long way from the days where he attacked me. My trainer had me put him in a down and practice often. This is the first time I did it without giving a command. I’m 10 minutes in and .....

Results of TBTE: this guy is relaxing during a thunderstorm! Until the last few months, this guy wasn't bothered by thunderstorms AT ALL. Definitely perplexed as to this change in behavior/ new sensitivity at age 6, but one of the beauties of TBTE is that the "why" doesn't impact the "how to fix it".

Big mile mark today in training! There's 2 large dogs that live a street over from us - Moose has always been very reactive towards them. They are amazing and well behaved, and basically show no interest in us past a quick glance. Today we rounded a corner when walking and the dogs were quite close; while Moose was super interested in them, I was able to use some TBTE techniques to curb his reactivity. He pulled a little, whined a little, but ultimately we were able to turn around and pop down a side street to give us some extra distance while the dogs passed by. We had no barking despite his interest in them. His feelings about other dogs are changing. Not only did we get through this major trigger, but he was able to continue our walk with minimal upset (previously i would have had to turn around and get us back home or he would have been so would up he would have reacted to everything on the rest of the walk). So grateful for this training program and how it has changed our lives! Reactivity is HARD, this approach has made it so much easier to work with.
