I always get the beef flavored ones because one time I had switched to the chicken flavor and it really took her aback. She spit it out on the floor and just looked at it like what's wrong with that. After a few times she tried it but her favorite is the beef. They are chewy and moist. My puppy also doesn't like the hard biscuits. My sister in law lives in Florida and works for an awsome dog groomer, if I knew which part you live in I could ask if they know of any good trainers in your area. |
Yes, pebbles just gets really really excited around strangers and other new dogs. She wants to kiss everyone. Do they sell the puperoni at normal pet stores like petco? I have tried some jerky treats but they were very hard and had sharp edges and I couldnt get them small enough and i was worried she would choke on a sharp edge. The problem with finding treats is you cant really open them up and get a feel for them/see if you can break them down to her size. If anyone else has a suggestion for "irresistible treats" let me know. I am already ordering one online that someone else suggested. I am willing to try anything. She is such a picky eater, it really has been a big problem.
I live in Spring hill, fl. Which is kind of out of the way. Its just a big suburban area one hour north of Tampa. A lot of tampa's professionals live here who just dont like what tampa is turning into--but it still has a lot of growing to do, which is the problem. There just isnt a whole a lot of stuff around here like youd find in a bigger city--just a lot of big new houses. It is also kinda south-west one hour of orlando. If your sister lives anywhere around me within an hour or so, I am willing to travel.
