I have been a prof. animal trainer for 30+ years and what good trainers know is food is a POWERFUL tool to help animals to focus and gain their attention. It is just like if you ate and had NO snacks between meals and just befor your next meal your a bit hungary, NOT STARVING just a bit hungary. Then you get a snack and your meal. Does that sound like starvation to you ? If we as people would eat like that we would be healthier and not so fat. I hope this helps everyone to understand better this method of training.There's ALOT of training ideas out there and they all have good and bad in them but, just because you don't understand the concept doesn't mean it's bad. This method is sound,humane and proven.
