How To Train A Puppy Who’s NOT Food Motivated | Ep. 212

Episode 212

Tuesday, September 9, 2025 • Duration 34:21

Food is a powerful motivator and reward and (in our opinion!) a vital part of the puppy training process! Sure, it can be a little annoying to always need to have their food on you ready to use, and NO this is not a forever thing…but for young puppies food can make your life SO much easier, help train your puppy good manners faster AND nourish a strong bond between you.
