Or people food that is good for him? He just doesn't like processed dog treats... mind you I don't think I blame him. |
Oh my Lobster yumssss what a lucky boy. Some ppl use cheerios, they are small, and crunchy and as treats not too bad.
Just use about a pea sized treat to reward. I mix up the treats a bit. Whenever I'm cooking, roasting chicken or turkey, or beef etc, I package up small treat bags and put in the freezer.
Also Razz likes frozen yams, They are good for them, too. I also will use bits of left over salmon too. I don't buy the store bought treats too often, first they are pricey, and secondly if Imake the treats I know what is in them. Cheese get very low fat cheese, and don't treat to much with that, maybe that one can be an extra extra special treat.
Sometimes I cook up liver in the oven slow slow roast time, 200 degrees for 1 hour or so, and cut up into little pieces, all my dogs love that one.
Of course it is easier if you have a freezer. My dogs also like small pieces of beans yellow and green.
Watermelon in the summertime is a super good treat. I make sure to deseed, and for my Yorkie I take off the rind.
I'm lucky that all my dogs are lil piggies. They eat just about anything.
