Any Callie King Followers?

I have been following some of her training blogs and videos. I really like her style and simplicity. She has very good information for some of us older riders.
One thing that does bother me is that she uses food/treats in almost everything she teaches. One trainer I know does use sugar cubes before and after riding. Another trainer never offers any type of treat reward - but, does give ample pats/verbal praise.
I would worry that with all the reward treats horses would get mouthy. I currently give treats when I get to the barn and when I leave.
If you follow her, what do you think of her?
Do you give rewards/treats or verbal praise?
