Many dogs are motivated by food.  It can reinforce (or reward) desirable behaviors.  Scientific research and anecdotal observation show that food is easy to use and both effective and efficient when training new behaviors or dealing with behavioral problems.

 Some dogs don’t respond to food treats as a reward.  For example, certain adult dogs are more motivated by other things such as play.  High-drive dogs tend to respond well to toys.  Using toys as a reward instead of food is the equivalent of taking your child to an amusement park vs. taking them out to dinner.
