Training Treats I've purchased quite a few different types of treats in an attempt to begin training Bella. The problem is this: She doesn't eat! She gets "full" after 1 or 2 and then doesn't want anymore. I break them up into super tiny pieces but it still doesn't work. She'll eat 1 or 2 and then not want any. :eek: How do you all use treats for training? I heard of some using it in place of meals (only feeding during training). Is there a certain kind of treat that works great for you? |
Cheerios!!! Someone on here told me about them - and both my little picky eaters LOVE them. They will do anything for cheerios! And they are CHEAP! My 4 mo. old has learned to come, sit, do a (somewhat) longer sit, use the peepads, no bite - all for CHeerios! |
i use pupperoni broken up tiny snickers LOVES it |
I'll have to try those! So far she doesn't like Snausages (I tried slicing them up into litte pieces). I also bought Natures Recipes Training Treats but she won't eat those at all. Perhaps the Cheerios or Pupperoni's will work! :) |
I always have a lot of small pieces of chicken on hand (even in the freezer). My dogs love chicken. And, it's good for them. I'm not sure they'd ever get full. I try to save these only for rewards and training - so they stay the special treat they are. Carol Jean |
Do you have Pet Supplies Plus? We use Cloud Star's Itty Bitty Buddy Biscuits broken up in several pieces. Pieces about the size of 1/2 a cherrio. Cherrios work fine too but I've found these easier to toss. We also use Charlee Bears. If you buy a small package, they are smaller treats. The cheese flavored are the best. I get those at Petco and from Pet Edge online. The only "wet" treat I would use is plain chicken breast in tiny pieces. Since we do so much training, this would mean a lot of cooking! So we use dry treats. Things like puperonis can cause diarrhea in some pups. Also, just use kibble. On obedience class nights I just dump Loki's bowl into my treat bag and use that. No way is he getting 40 treats when I could just use his dinner! I already have to send him to daycare so he can run with the other dogs and not get fat! |
I use pupcorn. Its light like a cheeto and they love them. |
do the cheerios have to be broken in half? My baby is less then 2 lbs and Im kinda afraid to give her anything |
I use a mixture of tiny pieces of cooked liver,cheese and ham,sometimes chicken.It works best when she is fairly hungry and she might not eat much dinner afterwards.On walks i use her normal kibble--Royal Canin 33. |
I have had a couple and realized that she wants real and epensive treats. I still have some for 0.99 and she does not want to do anything for those and runs away. Now, I get her ones for $5 and she is learning fast. For example, today she learnt BANG, but we need to polish it off tomorrow a bit. So, try as many as you can and also try Capt'n Crunch. |

snickers didnt take to cheerios or the natures recipes training treats either.. but the pupperoni she will do just about anything for the trainer said it had something to do with the strong scent |
Well I'm very happy to say that the Pup-peroni seems to be working fantastic! :woof: I think I'll pick up a couple of the other suggestions for variety. Thanks guys! :thumbs up |
