Intrigued by this trend, we spoke to Paulina Andrzejewska, a renowned cat and dog behaviorist, to gain deeper insights. Bored Panda delved into the nuances of dog behavior and the significance of positive reinforcement.

Paulina emphasized the importance of moderation, stating, “While treats can be a great distraction, they don’t address underlying emotions. A dog might still be fearful even if distracted by a treat. Moreover, excessive treats can alter canine communication, leading to potential food guarding.”

On the topic of vocal tones, Paulina highlighted the need for a ‘smiling voice’. She explained, “A cheerful, slightly higher-pitched voice can be more effective in praising dogs. However, it’s crucial to strike a balance to avoid overwhelming or scaring the dog.”

Discussing the broader aspects of positive reinforcement, Andrzejewska shared, “Beyond treats, verbal praise and genuine social interaction can be incredibly rewarding for dogs.

Maintaining eye contact and using verbal affirmations can foster a stronger bond between the pet and the owner.”

Reflecting on the TikTok trend, Paulina offered a balanced perspective: “While many dogs genuinely react with joy to praises, some reactions in the trend might be exaggerated, possibly due to off-camera treats.

Nonetheless, there’s no harm in showering our furry friends with well-deserved praises!”
