The best training treats are ones that your dog really loves and that can be broken into very small treats. This is especially important with a small dog like Bella. I have used and really like Wellness Soft Puppy Bites and Fruitables. This article also mentions a couple of other small and soft chews that would work well for Bella. https://www.rover.com/blog/favorite-healthy-dog-training-treats/ Good luck! I hope that was helpful. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! Any treat that excited your particular dog is the one you want to use. Just use SMALL pieces of treats, so break up the milk bones to even smaller chunks. You can use cooked chicken or low sodium turkey hot dogs as well. Everything should be in moderation as to not cause your puppy to gain too much weight during training. Good luck!

Sport dog is a good brand with several levels of correction. This will not be effective for chewing unless you are always there to correct her. If she chews when you are not home there is no way to know or enforce or correct this. For any training you have to ask them to perform something they know, such as sit. If they do not do it you push the button. If they do well then you reward them. Keep them on a leash while training. When you ask them to come, you pull the leash. If there is no interest then you correct them. They will learn to associate the two things together quickly to respond

Puppy classes are very helpful for many reasons - they allow the pup to socialise with other dogs in a safe, controlled environment, they provide an opportunity for you to learn skills in how to train your dog and they also allow you to see how other dogs and owners learn similar skills and allow you to share knowledge in problem solving etc. There are many pnline, puppy training courses - be sure to choose one which focuses on positive, reward based training and not on dominance/fear based methods

Hello. This is a great age to start to introduce Sweety to new experiences. Puppy classes at Petco or another training facility will widen her world to different sights, sounds & people. Overcoming innate fears are a difficult thing to teach a dog on your own, but a professional trainer can guide you to make Sweety a confident & well mannered pet. Take care.
