My dog is generally very good when taking food, knows gentle despite being super food motivated. But when outside and trying to teach heel he gets so overexcited that he starts nipping when he takes treats from me. I don't feel I can mark and then give the command gentle and then give a treat, especially when still trying to walk along. But I'm fed up of my fingers hurting everytime we train heel. Any suggestions on how to reduce the nipping or train heel without treats for a food motivated dog?
