Can I train my dog with bacon2007-11-25 2:59:40

I have a 7-8 month old cockapoo, he's really sweet sometimes, but most of the time he's very controlling- probably because we weren't consistnet when we trained him when we first got him.

Now I'd like to train him to sit, stay, and come but he doesn't respond to dog treats, he likes them, he'll eat them, but he doesn't come running when you call him. I used bacon yesterday and it's worked wonders, he comes right away and stays for MINUTES before he breaks focus.

if he get a little less than 1 piece a day is that going to hurt him? He's very active, and my kids play with him for about 1-2 hours a night at least, plus a 30 minute walk. is bacon a good training tool? If not- do you think he'll like beggin' bits? (my previous dogs did NOT, but they liked milkbones.)

Answers:

Well, feed it the dog type of bacon, not the type you eat.

Bacon is a great training tool, use pieces about the size of a dime.

I dont give my pup people food but if he likes bacon their are treats out there like beggin strips that look and smell like real bacon, good luck!!

Get Beggin' Strips. That's a doggie treat that tastes like bacon.

People bacon tends to have a lot of salt in it, so you don't really want to feed that to your cockapoo. And meanwhile- be consistent and make sure he understands you're the boss.
