What motivates your dog?

[Sevaede]

Spanky couldn't care less about praise even though that's the only thing she gets. She is motivated by food and toys, though.

malakai is not big on treats.. praise does it for him.
For Chloe its both treats and toys.

what exites my3 the most is treats, which is why I prefer not to use them lol food is was EXITES them the most, in fact is exits them to such a high degree that they are completly incapable of focas, I use food for some things but not much.

for Happy its toys, she will do aboslutly anything for a game of fetch, but will just as happliy work for a simple "thank you"

for Misty its praise, but not too much or she starts getting to the same level of exitment food gets her too, mostly just "good girl" and a pat on the head and as far as she is concerned she just won the lottery lol

Electra is play, NOT with toys, but roughhousing with me is a great reward for her.

for my moms 3 its food, food and more food lol

Kai - Treats. He'll work for any treat but he gets most excited with cheese. I use cheese for agility training since he speeds up most when I use it.

Kaedyn - Treats and praise. He'd rather get the treat but he responds very well with praise alone too.

Kuri - Fetch, frisbee, tug, treat. He prefers the frisbee and tug over the fetch and treat but he'll work for any of them.

Frisk: Praise & Treats
Ethan: Praise

Marta works for food...though she does like play, too.

Both Adele and Vallis get too focused on the treat for food to work. Praise works better with those two.

Shadow, Micki, Mini and Jack NEED food. Heck, Jack won't even play fetch with a toy unless he's rewarded with food! They do work for praise though, they just aren't as willing to do anything and they're much slower.

Kyra will gladly do anything for a game of fetch.
