Gargamel is not really into food rewards, he can;t have beef its horrible on his belly so hot dogs are out
I am able to reward him with chuck it balls. AND he does love cheese or peanut butter (just grab a spoon with a couple teaspoons, and he gets a lick real quick after he does the trick) and I also use a laser pointer about once a month. THAT is his favorite and he will do anything to please me to get the laser!
I was also told not to teach him additional tricks until he gets it 90% of the time. Like teach him sit, only 15-20 minutes a day until he gets sit. THEN start training high five, (or come, wait, lay down, etc whatever you want next) and teach that daily to be at 90% success, and still practice the other tricks he knows in that 15-20 minutes a day.
good luck!
