Training and teaching your dog even the simplest of behaviours that they need to be safe outdoors or around other dogs is really important for any dog owner.

And that’s when you should look at the treats you reward them with.
The Science Behind Dog Treats
There’s no better addition to training, play, walks, or just relaxing, than a well-deserved treat for your dog. However, understanding the treats and rewards that you give to your pets is vitally important to their health. A balanced diet with the right dog food is important, but you can quite easily find a great routine for that and manage to maintain it. But treats aren’t always regular, and some treat manufacturers can be less reliable in producing healthy, sustainable foods.
Healthy Treats for Dogs with Allergies
