Are treats a good thing?
Food work is intended to induce the dog to want to do what you want, but does it really do what it is intended?
It is always easier to make a dog do what he wants to do. But, the big down fall with relying primarily on motivating the dog with treats is that the dog is always in charge. In every interaction with the trainer, the dog makes the decision do I want to do this?
Why is that a bad thing? The dog may not be hungry or may prefer to check out a distraction which is greater than his food drive. Their decisions affect the consequences, which makes them in charge. So treat trained dogs have limitations as to their reliability and responsiveness to commands. Treats are great to teach tricks but for a truly reliable dog I would suggest using the balanced method of training.
