Why Your Dog Refuses Treats on Walks (Even the Really Tasty Ones)

Your dog loves treats at home - so why won’t they take them outside? If you’ve tried high-value treats, expensive snacks, or even homemade liver cake… and your dog still won’t eat, it’s not that they’re just ‘not interested’. It’s one of the most common (and misunderstood) challenges for dog owners, especially if your dog is pulling, barking, lunging, or totally ignoring you.

In this episode, we’re digging into why dogs refuse food on walks (even when they’re not fussy at home) and what that tells you about their state of mind. You'll learn how stress, overstimulation, or anxiety affect appetite, and how that connects to dog behaviour problems on walks.

Plus you’ll get my tips for helping them eat - so you can train your dog effectively, whether it’s for recall, loose lead walking, calm greetings or anything in between!
