Dog Show I'm watching the dog show and I keep seeing the handlers biting the dog treats. Can someone tell me what this is about?? |
If they are biting the treats and them giving the treats to the dogs, that's called "Baiting". It not only rewards the dogs, it gets their attention when the judge is inspecting. A lot of handlers keep the treats in their own mouths tucked between their teeth and inside cheek. The handler is biting the treat into much smaller pieces to give to the dog, so the treat lasts longer. Hope this helps. ps~ It's so disgusting!!! I have heard that a lot of handlers use things like chicken livers & lungs. And then they put it in their mouths and hold on to it the entire time they are in the ring!!! Eek! Talk about dedication! :eek: |
That's what I was thinking!!! Eww Thanks. |
OH MY.....I think I have been officially grossed out! The last time I bought Teddy's yogurt drops the girl at the check out said mmm...these are so good. I was like alrighty then but quit your drooling over my doggie treats.. |
They could have ones that are edible to both humyns and dogs. We went to a dog bakery today www.barkingdogbakeryokc.com and all of their treats are edible for both! My boyfriend at them and said they weren't half bad! :cool: |
i'm no expert but i believe they bite them into smaller pieces. it also keeps the attention of the dogs so the judges can inspect them. |
ok that is gross :eek: |

Omg Eeeek i love my dog to pieces but i would never share her treats with her the smell is enough to put anyone off thats just gross sorry. I can just see the owners now sharing their doggy treats its like a bit for you and this bits mine hehehehe :eek: |
Maybe thats why some owner/breeders hire a professional handler. LOL |
The woman with the Whipets on Showdogs Mom and Dads said that by keeping the treats (liver, I think)in her mouth, it also got the dogs' attention if she said something because her breath smelled like the treat. Yuck! |
