- In this video, Kayl and I will talk about the value of treats in training, and we'll show you how to train a stubborn dog who doesn't care about treats. Regardless of your dog's age, or breed, or their temperament, there are a few things you need to check off of your checklist to help you to be more successful with your dog training. The fact of the matter is that you need to get at least a little focus from your dog if you have any hope of changing their behavior. There are a few proactive steps that you can take to be more successful with your dog training.

One of the most important steps in using food to train your dog is the process of removing those treats from the picture and still getting that same reliable response. Here's a link to a video that you'll find helpful to wean off of your food lure: czcams.com/video/qLutjke0y9U/video.html
Happy Training! ~Ken
we just brought home an 8 week old cavoodle, who hasn’t been taking her food and didn’t seem motivated by treats.
We knew she was being free-fed prior to us picking her up, but I didn’t clock that, that would be causing an issue!
We don’t agree with free feeding so haven’t done it, but I felt discouraged when she wouldn’t take food when I laid it out for her, and we haven’t been getting any of those early training skills in yet because she wouldn’t take treats or kibble.
It’s only been 24hours though, she probably has a lot of settling in to do!
This video was super valuable! thank you!
Thank you! My puppy couldn't give a s*** about treats. I have been training her with play, which she adores. But its extremely difficult trying to come up with play equivalants for training. I've just tried your technique - it works GREAT and we applied it to a training session. Also manged to make her take her deworming pill. Massive win.
None of these work. My dog doesn't like any food in general. Even when hungry. Toys are also hit and miss for training. I wish there were more videos addressing these problems, because if the problem is "dog doesn't care about treats/food" all videos are about just changing the treats, which isn't helpful at all.
I have this issue too, and she's a golden reteiver who used to love treats but now doesn't care about them at all. She pulls like crazy on walks
Extremely helpful. Got new puppies recently and it's been difficult! Might be the food, might be the schedule, might be distractions, might be anxiety. I never thought about that. Found out that I give treats less value because I give it to them when I need them to be quiet and busy for people. Naturally, there's nothing wrong about my puppies, it's me as a trainer! I'll pay more attention to what I do as their human. Thank you so much.
Thank you all these valuable tips. My current experience would validate your point about their not wanting to eat due to the environment that they may be concerned about. My young border collie is extremely bright but due to being a rescue dog he is still cautious and tense about the walking environment. I have come to understand that it is actually part of his intelligence that prevents him from eating while he assimilates his environment. Hopefully this will eventually this will change as he becomes more confident.🐶♥️🙏🏽🌈🇿🇦
Thanks for the video folks, have watched a ton. We're really struggling to train our parent's 4 year old Malteese. Hoping you could offer your thoughts on:
At Home:
Food
- Breakfast: Small amount of biscuits (doesn't usually eat them)
- Dinner: (Small amount of cooked steak, rice and biscuits)
- Treats: Small amount for sitting/paw/staying
He's not motivated by toys at home and doesn't recall
Follows the lady of the house (everywhere)
He is motivated by treats and attention/lap sitting at home.
On Walks:
He forges forward and leads you on the walk to sniff pretty much anything (We think his dad walks him at a fast pace on an extendo-leash)
He's not motivated by treats or toys
He doesn't check in
He's very stubborn to sit and stay before crossing the road
Aggressive towards other dogs (especially bigger dogs)
Distracted even in the most blandest environment
Have removed the extendo-leash and replaced with a standard length. Reduced his food amount. Stopped leaving toys laying around the house for free access. Been patient with him on walks, standing in the view of him and other dogs when he's over stimulated. Training exercises in a bland environment and stopping and taking 2 steps back if he pulls forward and using his desire to sniff things as the reward for not pulling supported by positive and negative tone of voice.
Any other advice? We're at a loss and he seems like he doesn't give a hoot.
Thanks (from New Zealand)

Omg this is so educational. Thank you. My puppy has three different treats. I am weaning of the treats with lessons. He's not really excited about his current treats or the lessons without it 🥰🤪
Try using toys as a reward.
Hi there, Yolanda! It's good to hear that you're making some progress moving away from treats! I'm not sure if you've seen this video that we published earlier, but if you haven't seen it yet you'll find it helpful! Here's a link: czcams.com/video/qLutjke0y9UH/video.htmlappy Training ~ Ken
Thank you so much for this great vdeo! I adopted a retired greyhound and I think I made all the mistakes about feeding you mentioned in your video.
So happy you found it helpful, Mia Lucia! Thanks for watching ~Ken
This is great information thanks for sharing
Thanks Crystal! I’m glad you found it so helpful. Happy Training! ~Ken
You gus are great! Tysm for this help!!!
I got a one year old American Eskimo who had no previous training for the 1st 6 months he was in a kennel the other 6 months he ran around free out in the country those were his previous owners.yea none of the previous owners gave him all the vaccinations, he neededand had him neutered. I thought it would be best i adopt him. and he is out of hand, yea actually throws a fit and starts barking when i reprimand him, just found that out. and he is the most high energy puppy I've ever seen, is skittish of any noise and makes a bee line for the door when we're out for walk, does well in car ride for the most part, i guess this little sweetie has some issue's, but hes not so little, im thinking of finding him a new home , i just dont know if i have the energy to deal with him. He definently needs a doggie bootcamp for a couple of weeks.
You guys are so helpful and very grateful for your time to put out good content. Still working on my 11 weeks old corgi 😭
Thank you, Duc Du! Dogs are always capable of learning, regardless of their age. Enjoy the process, and acknowledge every step in the right direction! Happy Training! ~Ken
I have a tiny dog who is not food driven. Not distracted just not interested as a motivator.
My dog already does meal feeding. She's just not really big on treats in general, so treat training is total crap. I find that affection rewarding works well, but does not do anything for training her not to pull on walks. When we got her she was already rated at skittish so anytime she's outside she pulls. I can get her to stop pulling my the turn training but then by next walk she pulls again.
Hi there, Kharizmah! It’s not too surprising to hear that your dog won’t take food if she’s skittish. Imagine how feeling stressed affects your appetite. Because of that, all you’re left with is your voice to support her good choices. Your goal needs to be to find a location and distraction level where she can be successful. If she’s already stressed and distracted about the environment, it will be really difficult to be able to communicate when she’s making good choices. Find somewhere she is more comfortable, work on her foundation of understanding in that location. Once she’s beginning to understand what you want, you can increase the challenge a little bit. Here’s a video to help you to understand the different stages you’ll move her through and how you’ll help her to be successful: czcams.com/video/HPd2HyXXRYU/video.html
Thanks for watching! ~Ken
@@McCannDogs Maybe I'm stuck because I usually don't walk my dog for the 'R- epitition'. In the morning, my two dogs run along side me with the bike. In the evening they go to the dog park. So she has time to forget the skill of walking patiently. Everything else she is doing fine with.
I have a 4 month old mix of Russian and Finnish hunting dog. He follows me around for sure inside but outside no. First weeks was nice he learned come and stay and sit. Then came snow and all was different. Leash training started again and all outside. Also I can't actually go sitting on the ground and teach him. Here is loads of snow and also quite freezing at times. Okay he won't listen to me outside no matter what anymore. I'm used his toys, food, me being silly you name it. He just ignores me. Also even I go for a walks he started to jump and nib my arms and mt clothes. Teeth related maybe? Few teeth is missing already. He's also highly energetic and I have no room in my home to like make big fences. I have a movable fence so he won't come to my bed or to a kitchen when I'm making food. I just trained with him second time this day and after that he started to jump on me and nib my arms. He's 16kg and 4 months. I have to do something and I'm going to puppy class but they start after Christmas.
Any tips on how to figure out the hierarchy of your dog’s favourite treats? I can’t figure out which he likes better and which he only likes a little bit.
I know a dog(not mine) was baught from a breeder border collie. 1year 4 months. She has been at the new home 2 weeks. She doesnt want to have treats. She doesnt want toys. She will let people put a leash on now but she wont move to walk. How to get her walking?
She gets 2 meals. She doesnt eat all her breakfast but eats all of dinner.
Thank you for your video on "free feeding" . I suggest that you do video's on older puppies. (4 months- 1 year) Not everyone who views, or has viewed your video's has "puppies"! For example, I didn't get my puppy until it was 5 months, 3/4 old. She's was a rescue. If, all you provide is "puppy" training, (0-3or4 months) let me know so I can unsucribe. I've been watching the videos for some time now and have yet to see older puppy videos as I mentioned above. I feel no further need to support the channel if older puppy video's are not available soon!
Thank you.
Love your videos! ❤️❤️❤️
I still don't know "what to DO" after watching this video, my dog doesn't care about treats, we've tried steak, cheese, rotisserie chicken, gold fish crackers, the list goes on and on, his reactiveness to every single thing lately is out of control so he has to stay home alone because of it. I'd love to take him everywhere with me because he's little and he can, but I just can't anymore, and people with well trained dogs get really triggered by us 😮😮
My new German Australian Shepherd just doesn't want treats...granted I just got her yesterday, but she is very attentive to me in particular. But I have never had a puppy with 0 food drive! She doesn't even have a drive for toys.....what can I do to actually train her if she won't take the treat to reinforce "yes"
This video is exactly what I’m looking for, but still I don’t think it will work on my dog. My dog is not interested in treats, toys, anything while training. We feed him strictly, toys are not laid around all the time. The problem is he obeys inside the house and ditch whatever he learns on the outside. But I’ve tried different environments but he is highly highly sensitive to sounds, vision, and these keeps him very very distracted. We don’t have good trainers in where I live and I’ve been trying to do it myself but he just don’t pay attention to me only when it’s training time.
I have exact same problem let me know if you had any good advice or tips
Hey mccan I’m having some struggles with my dachshund cooper he’s knows plenty of tricks and when I do weave or other tricks he has to go to the side of me so he can do it so I lure him but even if I have a whole piece of chicken and I try to lure him he still won’t if I drop it on the floor to the side he goes then but when I pick it up before he gets it he goes back to the front any tips?
My dog has only recently started pulling badly since we rescued our second dog they do get on very well any suggestions
Hi, I NEED HELP!
My dog Just turned 2 Years old a week ago. We've had him since 10 weeks old. A trainer tried to work with him for 2 weeks (from 8-10 weeks old) before we got him, and when we did, he was Alarmingly thin!!!
We've Always had meals, Never free fed. But, he had food/feeding problems from the start.
He would eat Just Enough to stay alive, but was Always stick thin (ribs poking out! 😳) and Refused to eat more than once a day.
We tried Every type of food on the market and Finally found a food he will eat at 1 year old, but still refuses to eat it all.
I've been picking up the bowl the second he leaves and he Doesn't Care.
Three vets have said there's nothing wrong with him, food just isn't something he cares about.
He's Never wanted treats, Regardless of how smelly, mixing them up, etc.
EVERYONE is saying how to get your dog to work for treats, but he refuses food!
He blows me off/ignores me when we Do try to train, no matter How excited/animated I get. He Just Won't Train. Everything needs to be on His Terms to get him to do Anything.
He's successfully task trained to help me as a service dog, he just knew something was wrong and alerted naturally, but I didn't teach it.
How do I get his focus on me Now?!? That's his biggest problem, yet everyone is Still treats, treats, treats.
I'm Failing him some how and I'm Exasperated and desperate! He's Really well socialized, Loves other dogs and people, but easily blows me off, untill he needs to alert.
How do you train a dog who Never Wants Food!?!?
Thanks, Sharece.
find something else he likes to use as a reward, some dogs who are not food motivated can be trained using play time as a reward, throw a ball if he likes fetch or do a short session of tug if he prefers that, some dogs can be rewarded with praise alone
My dog has very sensitive stomach so very hard to find different training treats.
How much do you charge to train dogs?
My heeler puppy won't take food from my hand, no matter what the food is. If I put it in his bowl or on the ground, he eats it right up, but he won't even look at food that's in a person's hand.
What do you do if you have a dog who has a sensitive stomach and you have to be careful what you give them? Training treats are just not a good option.
This is super helpful. I need some advice though. How do I get my dog to have enough exercise and also have a low stimulus situation?
Good question, Jane! When we talk about external stimulus that may lower your dog’s food drive, we’re talking more about stimuli that may worry your dog. If you are the stimulus, there are lots of opportunities to do something engaging and to burn off some energy. A couple of exercises that immediately come to mind are restrained recalls. Have a friend/family member hold your dog and get your pup excited about the food. Call your dog’s name and have your helper release your dog to you. Playing tug and trick training are also a couple of ways to take the edge off. Be creative and have fun with the process! Thanks for watching ~Ken
Thank you Ken that is very helpful.
Yup still nothing seems to work, I'm trying to make him hungry, he's on his right weight, highest value treats and excercise before loose leash walking, still he doesn't care and I'm managing the environment but even on a field where there's nothing around he still believes that sniff the ground is better, and I already build value around me I play with him but after that he really doesn't want to hang around..... he's great at recalls and obedient doing everything outside even the hardest tricks but no no no to walking on a leash
I swear, you guys must have cameras in my home and on my property. 😂🤣
I am still in the driveway stage. He’s working for his next meal but boy oh boy does EVERYTHING distract him on our front yard. (Everything except cars, funny enough.) He starts pulling at about 3 minutes into our leash work and forsakes his high value moist and smelly lamb treats. So I find myself going back to our front patio where I have his attention again. He is obsessed with his tug toy, so I wonder if that’d get his focus again in the driveway.
Hey Melinda! We do have a good understanding of the challenges that every dog owner will encounter. The real challenge for us is coming up with “one-directional” educational content that will be as helpful as possible with the least amount of questions left to be answered. You can certainly use your leash to redirect your pup when he starts to pull or get distracted. Once you’re back on track with him in at your side you can start to praise and reward again. One of the challenges with using a toy for this exercise is to mark the position and reward for that. You could certainly use the toy as a “jackpot” reward when you’ve gotten a pre-determined amount of great walking. You can praise in position for however long you have decided then say “jackpot” and “okay” releasing him from that position and taking him to your stash of great rewards. I’ve mentioned it in a recent video, but I don’t have access to that list at this moment. If you go to our channel page, and check “recent uploads” there will be a video there that will be helpful. I just can’t remember which one right now.... 😆
Happy Training! ~Ken
McCann Dog Training thanks so much! You guys are always so helpful! 😁
I can 't get her focused in my house with no distractions 😭
How do you teach a dog to listen without treats after you teach the trick?
Hi there! I have a video that will help you to understand why that’s happening, and you’ll be able to fix it! Here’s a link: Basic Dog Training - Your Dog Won't Listen Without Food - czcams.com/video/qLutjke0y9U/video.html
Happy Training! ~Ken
Hi! My dog is really good with loose leash walking ( the casual form ) on our normal walks and on hikes to new trails as long as I am alone. When my husband comes along, she pulls like a freight train! The only thing I can think is that it's her trying to be leader of the pack because she gets even more frantic if he gets in front of us. Even when she is in front, it's like she is trying to go fast enough that he can't pass her. Any advice for working though this?
Hi there, Malinda! It’s likely that she just wants to keep up with your husband. She doesn’t need to learn that she isn’t allowed to pull any time you have your leash in hand though. While you’re teaching her to remain at your side, try to have your husband remain a little closer, or walk beside or behind you. Insist on that good position at your side and reward her when she’s making good choices. After good rehearsal, allow your husband to get just a little ahead of you and follow the same steps in rewarding good choices, and using your leash if she starts to pull. Focus on position of your reward and break the training process down a little. Happy Training ~Ken
With all this high value treating, won’t the dog gain a lot of weight?
Treats rule!!!
Get an aussie!!!
I don't give my dog ANY HUMAN FOOD AT ALL! Too much salt and other ingredients!
We have free-fed our airedales for years. They were not overweight and never hungry. Dogs are not like people. They stop eating when they are full. If a dog is overweight it is most probably because the owner feeds them unhealthy human food that is not good for any living being to eat.
I like positive reinforcement but I really dislike the zillion treats that goes along with it. Imagine giving your child sweeties every time they obey you...
Cheese and liver and all the other kinds of so called "healthy" snacks caused a huge food sensitivity for my previously healthy puppy.
