What about treats - How often should I give them to our dog?

• There is an ever-growing array of dog treats on the market.
  
• Choose carefully and don't be too generous with them, because over indulgence could cause your dog to become obese. Treats add nothing to a balanced diet.
  
• They may be useful rewards during training, but don't use them every time, or you will lead your dog to always to expect this kind of encouragement.
  
• There are better alternatives in any case, such as a small piece of carrot, which most dog will eat happily.
