| Training Treat suggestions I need some suggestions for some good training treats. Hannah requires a lot of motivation. I need something that she will go crazy for. |

| I use the dried sweet potatoes. They come in pretty long sticks but I just cut them up. Winston loves them. They have really helped with the potty training.

| I dont reccomend garlic based treats...... Onion and garlic poisoning Onions and garlic are other dangerous food ingredients that cause sickness in dogs, cats and also livestock. Onions and garlic contain the toxic ingredient thiosulphate. Onions are more of a danger. Pets affected by onion toxicity will develop haemolytic anaemia, where the pet’s red blood cells burst while circulating in its body. At first, pets affected by onion poisoning show gastroenteritis with vomiting and diarrhoea. They will show no interest in food and will be dull and weak. The red pigment from the burst blood cells appears in an affected animal’s urine and it becomes breathless. The breathlessness occurs because the red blood cells that carry oxygen through the body are reduced in number. The poisoning occurs a few days after the pet has eaten the onion. All forms of onion can be a problem including dehydrated onions, raw onions, cooked onions and table scraps containing cooked onions and/or garlic. Left over pizza, Chinese dishes and commercial baby food containing onion, sometimes fed as a supplement to young pets, can cause illness. Onion poisoning can occur with a single ingestion of large quantities or with repeated meals containing small amounts of onion. A single meal of 600 to 800 grams of raw onion can be dangerous whereas a ten-kilogram dog, fed 150 grams of onion for several days, is also likely to develop anaemia. The condition improves once the dog is prevented from eating any further onion While garlic also contains the toxic ingredient thiosulphate, it seems that garlic is less toxic and large amounts would need to be eaten to cause illness. I use cheerios and Pup-peroni (LEAN) and a very small pinch from the stick when I really need to motivate.

| Popcorn is another food I wouldn't give. Corn in general isn't the best thing to give a pup, but popcorn especially can lead to choking and scratching of the throat. I'm not sure about the cheese either. I thought dairy was bad for dogs? In that regard, I know there's a certain kind of yogurt you can give your dog, and it's the only kind recommended. I can't remember the type, though. Perhaps someone else will chime in and say. I'll give Addie Cheerios or Wellness Pure Rewards Jerky cut up into small pieces. Also, a member on here, Chattiesmom, has these cute little treats she calls Yorkie Yummies. They're the perfect training size, and she has many different flavours.

| Jackson loves bits of cheese, he also loves the little square shaped Wellness treats (you can get at Petco or Pet Valu), as well as Bil Jac treats (purple bag w/ a Yorkie on the front). Cheerios always worked great, too.

| I know what you mean, Sophie is all about the treats! :-) She only weights 2 lbs., so I have to be super careful with portions. Once a week I prepare about 4 cups of Cheerios, just cutting them in half. (I use the edge of the sharp kitchen knife to line about 6 of them up in a row so I can cut through all of them in one cut.) It's not very time consuming, and I listen to NPR while I'm doing it to keep it fun, lol. Then, I put the Cheerios in a gallon size Ziploc bag with organic dried liver treats that I've broken into little morsels. The liver treats give the Cheerios a meaty smell/taste that Sophie loves! I keep a tiny plastic container of treats in every room of the house and got two little containers that I clipped on to both of her leashes-- that way treats are always at the ready and I can reward a positive behavior immediately after I click. (I wear a clicker on a stretchy key ring on my wrist in the house, and have one on each of her leashes.) I also give her one frozen baby carrot every morning as her big treat at the end of clicker training. I've tried apple slices, but she's not crazy about them. She gets ecstatic when she sees the Tupperware container with the baby carrots come out of the freezer, so I guess I'll stick to them. I see several puppies like broccoli, so I think I'll try that, too! |

| Those sound great! Where did you find them? Maybe it's just my area, but the pet shops have mostly junk food treats. Since Sophie loves baby carrots, I'm thinking she might like the sweet potato, too. I'm worried she's going to get bored of her treats! :-) |
