PrepTest 72, Section 2, Question 1
Treat training consists of rewarding dogs with edible treats whenever they respond appropriately to commands. Most dogs will quickly learn what they need to do to receive a treat, so this appears to be an effective training method. However, most dogs who have been treat-trained will not obey commands unless they are shown a treat. Since you cannot always have treats on hand, you should instead use praise and verbal correction to train your dog.

Which one of the following principles, if valid, most helps to justify the reasoning above?
The more quickly a dog learns to respond to a stimulus, the more likely it is that the owner will continue to use that stimulus.
The more often a dog is given a stimulus, the more likely it is that the dog will obey its owner's command even when the owner does not provide that stimulus.
A dog should be trained by the method that results in a high obedience rate in at least some circumstances.
A dog should be trained to respond to a stimulus that its owner can supply in all situations.
A dog should not be trained by a method that has not proven to be effective for any other dogs.
