Tetley had his first day at school on Saturday and he did SO well! At first he wasn't paying much attention to me with the treats I had brought for him, so the trainer handed me the ultimate training tool - a dehydrated
chicken heart!
I know, sounds disgusting, but is it really any worse than a bull's wanker?
LOL So anyways, once I started using the chicken heart as a lure, he was putty in my hands. I just hold it and give him a little lick/nibble every time he does something right. Keeps his attention on me like magic!
And I found out where to get them! For my Canadian friends - I found it at Global Pet Foods, $5.99 for a 40 g bag. There's a few dozen hearts in there. So I went online to find out more from the manufacturer, and they offer FREE SAMPLES! They apparently have branches in the US and Canada - so try it out! Here's the website:

I hope I'm not telling you all something you knew already - but I've never heard of dehydrated chicken hearts as a training treat. I was a bit hesitant when the trainer handed it to me because Tetley has a major sensitive stomach, but he had no problem with this AT ALL! I can't wait to go back to class with him on Saturday!
