| what do use for training treats?? Any suggestions for training treats that I can take with me? I know clicker training books suggest meats BUT if I am traveling...I worry about the meat going bad. For example, I am picking up my dog on Saturday (10hour drive). I want to start training right away. I dont' want to keep meat in my pocket for 5-10hours. I also want to give treats for housebreaking and don't want to run to the fridge or keep the meat out n the table or in a baggy. suzie |

BANNED FOR NOT MAILING PRODUCTS PURCHASED | I am picking up my dog on Saturday (10hour drive). I want to start training right away. I dont' want to keep meat in my pocket for 5-10hours. I also want to give treats for housebreaking and don't want to run to the fridge or keep the meat out n the table or in a baggy. suzie[/QUOTE] IMO I would not worry about training him in the car, he is going to be nervous, then he has a 10 hour drive on top of that, I would just hold and cuddle with him to get a strong bond going with him, give him a few days to get adjusted to you and the family, then start training him. The beef bites i was talking about come in a package and need no refridgeration. I got them at the pet store. Good luck with your new baby! |

| I use Cheerios or Honeycomb cereal. They are both easy to take with you too. |

| I cut up Pupperoni into little bits. Pixie loves 'em. Every now and then she'll get sick of the Pupperoni (she'll take it from me then just spit it out on the floor!) so then I'll use Cherios or Chex or bits of cheese for a while, then I'll go back to the Pupperoni..... |
