There’s a lot of debate within the dog training world around which training methods work best — dominance and punishment or positive training using food and praise as a reward.

Whether it’s learning how to calm a reactive dog or figuring out how to stop a dog from jumping up, food is incompatible with fear and can therefore be a valuable tool when it comes to helping modify a dog’s fear, anxiety, or stress.
