I had to ask the vet to tell me what Joey should weigh, because during a trick training class he gained too much weight, almost a full pound more than he should weight, but I couldn't tell, he looked great to me.
I am training him to do tricks too and I realized the other day that I have been both him and my other pup a lot of treats. They eat wellness puppy mix and I have been giving them dog treats that my friends bought for them which I am sure are full of bad things...but they love the taste of them and I didn't want to be rude.

I will stick to wellness treats from this point forward.
