#4. Make your Dog Work for Rewards

Nothing in life is free, even if you’re a dog. So to help reinforce your role as leader of the pack and keeper of treats, ask your dog to earn rewards through actions throughout the day. Maybe ask for a “sit” or “down” before serving his supper. Request that he “pay attention” before clipping on the leash. Add in reward occasions to everyday activities and you’ll not only encourage obedience but also help raise a well-adjusted dog.
