Types of Treats?

Q: What type of treats do you use in the training process? Our puppy has a hard time with chewing quickly however, it looks like the pups and dogs on your DVD have an easy time with those happy niblets they get for doing a great job!

A: We use chicken, turkey, cheddar and mozzarella cheese, high quality dry treats like "Liver Biscotti," carrots, and anything else our dogs really like. You can even use dry kibble as a treat if it's high quality and something your dog really loves. You can also make some homemade treats. There are several books on the market that give recipes. (Check for them at www.dogwise.com ).

If your dog isn't used to getting a certain food, acclimate the digestive system by adding a few bits of the new food to his meals for a few days before using it a lot in the training process.
