Why do some PBB dogs get rewarded with food when working while others get rewarded with play when working?
Some agencies reward their working dogs with food and some reward their dogs with play. Some feel that food is the strongest motivator to get a puppy working while others think that play is the best motivator for working. To accommodate the needs of the agency getting a particular dog, and to set the puppy up for success when it becomes a working dog, PBB starts the appropriate reward system early on in the puppy’s life. All PBB dogs are evaluated when they are puppies to determine which line of work best suits its personality.
