I used to give Max and Abbie greenies before I found out that they were killing dogs and Max LOVED them. Whenever I said, "Want a greenie, Max?" he would ho absouutely nuts and go the the closet door where the greenies were kept. He would sit like a good boy and when I walked over to him he would sit up and beg (front paws would quiver--LOL). It was the cutest thing to watch. I don't given him greenies anymore but I have given him the greenie toy. It's non-edible and really hard--like a nylabone. It's shaped like a toothbrush just like greenies. If I say the word greenie now, he still gets all excited, sits and begs but when I give him the toy he puts it back on the floor and gets back into his "good boy sitting/begging position" waiting patiently for his greenie. He knows cookie, bath, outside, hungry, water, and some others but he doesn't get as excited as he did when he heard the word "greenie" |
