Hazmat, you are right about being a walking cookie jar. Once the dogs are responsive, the love and attention reward is all they really need. I just have the habit of putting the treats in my pocket and rewarding them once in a while. Freyja will nose my pocket if she thinks that she has done something deserving a treat.
