Provide chew toys and food - stuffed dog toys for entertainment while indoors and schedule
short daily obedience training sessions for mental stimulation.
The three resulting theories as to why the dogs exhibited no treat preference were (1) the potential of receiving a reward at all was so great as to override preference; (2) the effect
of daily obedience training conditioned responsiveness; and (3) working in a pack, even as small as a pair, increased motivation to receive a reward.
Give your dog something to do: walks and
daily obedience training will do the trick.
Adult Dog foster families are also required to keep up
the daily obedience training and practice specialized training scenarios.
