Toys and treats(food) can also be a distraction during training - If I hold a treat, Taylor will follow the treat or alternatively look for it and miscue or hesitate on occasions, what he is meant to do or complete. It is somewhat similar to praise during training and in competition before a full task is completed or the full circuit has been completed - if I praised Taylor whilst in the process, it may distract him. So I leave it all until the finish.
