How to Train Your Dog Effectively Using Treats - PetsFoodNutrition.com Dog treats can be used to entice dogs to perform the desired action. For example, when teaching a dog to sit, you can begin by tempting your dog with a goodie. Then, slowly slide a goodie back over your dog’s head while holding it close to his nose. To follow the dog treat, most dogs will stick their noses up, and as their noses go up, their bottoms go down. Luring is effective for various behaviors, such as down and rollover.
