If you feed your dog only treats everyday or for a while the treats don't become treats anymore. It's like human life, if you eat snacks for every meal the snacks would become your breakfast, lunch and dinner. If you try to teach your dog a trick what are you gonna give him? He is so use to eating treats there's like no reward for him to do that trick.

Can dog treats colour a white coat?

Dog treats contain a small amount of colored dye which may not break down in the digestive system. It is possible that feeding a dog a large number of the same colored treats for a very long time might eventually change his color, as the excess dye is laid down on the hair by the dog's follicles; but if that happens, you are likely feeding your dog far too many treats.

How do you get a dog not to run from you?

Train your dog or get it to like you Often you can use treats as a reward for your dog coming to you. They will associate you with treats. You want to make a big deal out of it when your dog does come to you with a lot of praise. Never call your dog to scold it or reprimand it for doing something wrong. This is a fast way to teach them not to come to you.

How do you stop a food addicted dog?

Try feeding the dog the same amount of food, and only at certain times of the day. When it appears he/she has eaten his/her fill, take the food away.This way, if the dog is addicted to eating food, he cannot graze on the food as he/she pleases.If you feel that you must give the dog treats, give them only as rewards for tricks, not just as rewards for "going outside" or some other trivial thing. Stick only to dog treats, not human foods, and give them only on special occasions, so the dog does not become accustomed to receiving them, or tries to get treats for everything.Also, if the dog tends to roam by the dinner table while someone is eating, become strict. Say "No" firmly, do not purposely drop food morsels, or even put the dog outside or in another room entirely when a meal is in session.Hope this breaks the habit. :)
