Why I Use Full Moon Dog Treats in Every Training Session
According to the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior, using food as positive reinforcement is one of the most effective and humane ways to train dogs.
Full Moon dog treats are my go-to training reward, and for good reason. As a CCPDT-certified dog trainer, I know firsthand that food is a powerful primary reinforcer—dogs are biologically wired to work for it. Using treats isn’t bribery—it’s science-backed behavior shaping.
And not just any treat will do. In training, treat saliency matters. You’ll always get a more motivated response from your dog with a quality, meat-based treat than with dry biscuit types. That’s why I’ve been using Full Moon dog treats for over 8 years. They’re affordable, mess-free, and dogs love them.
What Makes Full Moon Dog Treats So Effective?
-
Human Grade Ingredients
These are made with real meat you can actually smell. You probably shouldn’t eat them… but if you gave them a sniff, you might reconsider. I’ve tested dozens of brands, and Full Moon dog treats consistently outperform others in focus, scent, and ease of use. Many treats have a sort of toxic smell to them. These actually smell like beef. I once got stopped by a k9 dog at the airport before a flight after just leaving a training session. My pockets were in fact empty, but the dog caught the lingering scent. -
Perfect Pocket Treats
I keep a few of the strips in my pocket during walks or training sessions. They break apart easily and are ready to reward the moment a dog does something great. The strips make it easy to pull out of my pocket without a bunch of little piece falling out at the same time. I just break off a piece and put the strip back in my pocket. -
No Crumbles, No Mess
These treats hold their shape. They won’t crumble into lint, and yes, they’ve even survived a trip through the washer. Ask me how I know. -
Incredible Value
A huge 26-ounce bag lasts me about a month of daily training and costs around $18. That’s budget-friendly for high-quality results. I honestly, don’t know why they’re so cheap. I get the savings over boutique pet store prices because they’re shipping from a warehouse, but they’re always fresh. If you really want to support your local pet store, ask them to start stocking these treats! -
Loved by Dogs
I’ve worked with dogs of every breed and temperament, and I’ve yet to meet one that turns down a Full Moon jerky treat. They’re that good.
Using treats with strong aroma and flavor increases your dog’s drive to work for you—this is called treat saliency, and it’s key in dog behavior science. That’s why meat-based jerky like Full Moon works better than biscuits. Full Moon does carry several types of treats. All are human grade that I’ve tried, but here are a couple of things to keep in mind.
- Many dogs are allergic to chicken. Something I learned along the way from my pet owner clients.
- The chicken isn’t as easy to break off a small piece.
