More treats

Q: My puppy is 10 weeks old today but has only been with us for 4 days. When can I introduce new higher reward treats for training purposes? He is pooping 3x or more daily and peeing regularly.

A: I am not sure what you mean by higher reward treats. There are hundreds of treats and for the most part the differences between them is insignificant.  I like freeze dried liver or meats because they do not have added sodium, most treats are like common snack foods for people they are high in sodium.  I would recommend using freeze dried meats that are produced in the United States.  “Stewarts” is a brand that has been around a long time.  Especially if you start with young puppies many times you can use carrots or green beans as a healthy snack.
