For my dog he mainly wants 2 things #1 Food #2 Attention/Affection...it's very easy to use food to train a dog but you also have to form a schedule (which sounds more difficult/strenuous than it actually is) with the treats and when they are handed out. You do NOT want to always give out a treat when your dog does a trick, you want to vary whether you give your dog a treat or affection and oddly enough that helps. Also the major thing is as soon as you can after the pet has done whatever trick you want them to do give them the reward...the same goes for punishment when they have done something bad. This is why if your dog craps in the house while you're at work it is pointless to try and discipline them because they will not remember it or already be sulking about it.

If you need any help with anything just let me know
