Delaying the handing out of the treats will only confuse the animal and thus make the whole exercise worthless. As well, it is very important that you portion out your treats. You do not want to over treat your pet as this may cause problems with their health and may cause them to become overweight.

Using suitable toys and other tools to get the cooperation of the pet will also contribute to higher success levels in the training sessions.
