Hi, friends! 🐾 It’s me, Zoe. I’m an expert snack-getter with seven years of experience, and I’m here to share my snack-getting wisdom with you.
But here’s the secret: getting more snacks isn’t just about being cute (though it helps). It’s about making humans want to give us snacks. Lucky for you, I’ve got it all figured out.
Step 1: Play the Good Dog Card
Humans don’t just hand out snacks for nothing (though they should)—they’re obsessed with this thing called “good behavior.” So when you want a treat, don’t bark your head off.
Instead:
✅ Sit calmly and cutely. Lock eyes with them and channel your best manifestation stare (visualizing the snack makes it even more effective).
✅ Wag your tail just enough to show excitement without looking desperate.
✅ Know tricks? Now’s the time to break them out.
Why does this work? Because humans love rewarding good behavior, and it makes them feel like they’re “training” us. (Between us, we know who’s really in charge. 😉)
Step 2: Be Patient, Not Pushy
Barking, whining, or jumping around might get their attention, but here’s the problem: humans think that’s “bad behavior.” And when they see bad behavior, they try to ignore it (so rude).
Trust me, patience pays off. Sit quietly, maybe tilt your head a little, and they’ll think, “Wow, what a polite pup. Here’s a treat!”
Step 3: Choose Your Snacks Wisely
Not all snacks are created equal—some are just plain boring. That’s why I’m obsessed with What’s Barking treats. They’re made with real food ingredients, which means they taste amazing and they’re actually good for us. The humans love them, too, because they’re packed with wholesome stuff like peanut butter, pumpkin, and blueberries.
🐶 Pro tip for my fellow dogs: The second you hear the What’s Barking bag, sprint to your human and sit like your life depends on it. Works every time.
Step 4: Give the Humans a Reason
Here’s a little secret about humans: they love feeling like they’re doing something good for us. So when you act like the happiest, most excited dog ever, they’ll want to keep that going.
Extra tail wags, big smiles, and happy chomping noises? Snack jackpot.
Step 5: Nudge Them Toward Treat Time
Sometimes humans need a reminder (they’re not as snack-focused as we are 🙄). If you’re feeling snacky, try this:
🐾 Rest your head on their lap.
🐾 Nudge their hand gently with your nose or paw.
🐾 Look at them, then at the treats, then back at them. Add a soft sigh for maximum effect. Remind them how hard you work every day… it’s not easy being this cute!
If they don’t get the hint? Repeat until successful.
For the Humans Reading This
Hi, it’s Zoe again! I know you’re reading over your dog’s shoulder (that’s okay, you need this info, too). Here’s what you should know:
✔ Treats can be a win for both pup and paw-rent. When they’re made with real, high-quality ingredients like What’s Barking, you can feel good about rewarding your pup.
✔ Good treats = better behavior. Rewarding calm, polite behavior encourages your dog to keep it up—so everyone wins.
✔ Perfect bite-size for training. Whether you’re reinforcing good behavior or just celebrating cuteness, they’re the ideal little snack.
✔ Your dog loves snacks, but they love YOU even more. So make treat time something special!
Remember, pups, snacks aren’t just about filling our bellies—they’re about bonding with our humans (and getting what we deserve). So humans, if you’re reading this, grab a bag of What’s Barking Treats and watch your dog’s tail go full-speed.
Stay snacky,
🐕 Zoe
