treats
I know there is a lot of disscusion on the kind of food to feed your dog ( i feed blue buffalo) but what do you give your dog as a treat when training? i have been watching kiko pup on youtube and she says to give a high value treat to get good envolement. I have been trying cheese and sausage and the thing my dog likes the best is cat food. I know it is high in fat but it isnt as messy as cheese or sausage. what are some treats that your dog will stand on their head for and aren't messy? i know dried apple and stuff like that but i want stop in your tracks treats.

I do use samples of cat food for treats as they don't get that many. I also use the cheap hot dogs which they truelly love. At home...I use my home made dog biscuits broken into tiny pieces! Cheese in a can works great also but it can get expensive but is very easy to take along. I by BillJack treats...the tiny training pieces and they aren't as messy as cheese or sausage!

My wife would buy these leathery custom dog treats. I'd slice them into match-head-sized bits and keep them in a tough screw-cap plastic pill bottle or the like.
Often I just use a kibble kernel for a treat, but that's too big for training.
Idea: Fry bacon very crisp, and use tiny bits of that ONLY for Emergency Recall training. Pick a "Magic Word" never used in regular speech (we use "venite!", Latin/Italisn for "Come"!). Reward lavishly, introduce 1st time when you KNOW the dog will come (hungry, has seen the dripping bacon in your fingers). Lavish praise. This is the ONLY time Al & Gwynn have ever tasted bacon, so they think "Venite!" means, "Bacon!!" A unique, cordon-bleu treat for Emergency Recall. Worked for us.

I recently found that Finn knows the word treat. It's not one we intentionally taught him. I was trying to go home from a walk and Finn was refusing to walk up the stairs because he wanted more walking and I asked him "don't you want a treat?" and he ran up the stairs. I'll have to try using "treat" at the park to see if he'll come running in an exciting environment like that.

Jack knows "treat." Maddie knows "treat" and "cookie" and also knows if I say "Good boy!" to Jack while we are walking, it means he might be getting a treat so if she turns around, she might get one too.
And yet it took her 6 weeks to learn to sit. :-) I love them, they are so funny.

I use sliced baby carrots.. vegan dog crackers... sliced raw hot dogs..those are just my Eddy's faves, though. Anything teeny tiny yet luxurious.

While Finn ate the hot dogs when I tried it, he didn't seem overly excited about them. he's an odd dog. Doesn't like peanut butter either. He'll eat it, but he won't enjoy it. :)

We used Newman's Own Organics Chicken & Vegetable Training Treats. They also come in chicken and rice. They are long sausage like treats (like a slim jim) and they are not messy and very easy to just break off tiny pieces. Finn went wild for these. All his other treats were crunchy and we reserved the soft treat for training.
He also loves banana (fresh or dehydrated chips), carrots, oranges and Sam's Yams (I'd cut them into bite size treats).

For training treats indoors i use are tiny training treat cheese biscuits that i found in a small shop (there about 1/2cm in size). We started of using apples, bananas, cheese and Pure Bites(freeze dryed liver). Adora can be picky about treats out doors the only ones she will eat outside is Pure Bits(liver), and Rollover pork bites. Pure bits are my favorite to use because they are dry, no prep like cheese or fruit. They are also natural, so funny business going on in the ingredients. We kept them as adoras main treat becuase the vet uses them as well.
