Treats are in my right pocket (cause I'm right handed), but after the treat is removed from my pocket it is put in my mouth. If I'm rewarding a signal I've given with my left hand the treat is removed from my mouth and offered with the left hand, and vice versa for the right. If I'm rewarding a front I take the treat out with both hands and offer it with both hands at one time....keeps the focus on the face and not on one hand or the other. Rewards in heel position are always offered with the left hand.
I often find soggy pockets when I've been lazy and left my pants where they fall in the evening. Troy doesn't miss an opportunity to get food!! No holes yet, though!!
