Reward question
My husband & I are having a little disagreement about rewarding our dogs. All of our inside dogs are potty trained for outside. We recently installed a dog door and everyone is just about trained and using it. We have always rewarded them after going potty, but since we have a dog door and they can go by themselves, I think the rewards for going potty should stop. My husband says no. What are your thoughts about rewarding a dog after they have been been using the dog door appropriately for at least 2 weeks? Thanks so much!!!!!

Thank you!!!!
We have been pretty lucky with training except with one dog that marks. It did take most of mine a year to be successful and that is probably our fault with giving the treats so often. I still have seen accidents from time to time, but since having the dog door I haven't seen really any. (except for the marker) LOL He is neutered, but we made the mistake of waiting to neuter when he was two. I have found if he wears his Thunder Shirt, he usually doesn't mark. So you know that little joker wears majority of the time. LOL If you don't mind I have left you a new question under "ask the Administrator."
Thanks so much again!
