Of course, there’s the ‘method’ that says start with food until they learn and but then never give food rewards again. You can’t win.

What works the best is intermittent treats of varying sizes and yumminess.

I think they call it Intermittent Variable Reinforcement to be technically correct. It is why people go to casinos and gamble.

Mine don’t really get “snacks” between meals so *any* treat is a huge federal case.
