Reinforcement Schedules Explained: Why Unpredictable Rewards Create Addicted Learners

In this episode of The Dog People Podcast, Max and Jack unpack one of the most misunderstood parts of dog training — how often you should be rewarding your dog. Max breaks down the science of reinforcement schedules and explains why not knowing when a reward is coming can actually supercharge your dog’s motivation. If you're always handing out treats, you might be doing more harm than good — but get too stingy, and you'll lose your dog's interest altogether. This is essential listening for anyone looking to boost engagement and drive in their pup.
