I Can't Feed my dog People Food!As a trainer who encourages using treats to train dogs, I often hear that dog owners think they shouldn’t feed “people food” to their dogs. Let’s talk about some of the common misconceptions:
![]() “It will teach my dog to steal food off the counter.” When there’s food on the counter, dogs can smell it, and they will investigate it further – with their mouths! Be sure to keep dogs out of the kitchen whenever anything edible is on the counters. Or better yet, train them to stay out of trouble!
![]() “Dog food is more nutritious than human food.” Not all dog foods are equal; many brands use sub-par ingredients and unhealthy fillers. Check the ingredients on your dog food bag: you want to see named meat sources at the top of the ingredients list, and very few carbohydrates. To further investigate the ingredients in your dog’s food, a helpful resource is www.DogFoodAdvisor.com.
Remember that just like us, dogs get bored of the same treats every day. A special little treat once in a while will help them stay motivated to train, and allow them to celebrate the holidays along with us!

Training is what will make you a better cook, so just keep on doing it. You are going to fail a couple of times, but that is when you will realize your mistakes. It is hard to go and enjoy life if you do not have something that motivates you to improve. I think that training is what will make you the best, or at least better than what you were last time. I hope that you get better sooner.

I appreciate what you said about how a lot of fresh food can be given to dogs. I need to get a new treat for my dog to eat. He seams super bored with the stuff he normally eats.
