What is Treat to Train?

We are a force-free, reward-based, positive reinforcement dog training school with branches in Pretoria and Johannesburg. We offer group classes, private lessons and behaviour modification sessions. All ages and breeds are welcome at our classes. The group classes we run include puppy training, teenage tyrants, tricks & obedience fun classes, agility, scentwork and tracking.

Why is positive reinforcement training important?

Positive reinforcement training is essential for fostering trust and confidence in dogs, as it focuses on rewarding desirable behaviors rather than punishing undesirable ones. By using treats, toys, or praise as rewards, this approach encourages good behavior, facilitates effective communication between owner and pet, and enhances learning by tapping into a dog's natural motivation to earn rewards. Moreover, positive reinforcement training promotes mental stimulation, strengthens the owner-dog relationship, and reduces stress and anxiety, making it a humane, effective, and enjoyable method for teaching and bonding with dogs
