Training Treats - Page 1

What is your favorite training treat? How do you prepare it? Where do you store it? And how do you carry it on you, when you're training?

Best regards,

MJd80 you are on fire today - lots of posts... my favorite treat is Calf liver - I get a hot frying pan - wash off the liver - grease the pan - and throw the liver in it - flatten it out - put a little garlic on it and brown both sides - little blood comes out - then pick out and let cool - cut in to small sizes - that my dog wont choke on when i am treating.....

I put it in a plastic container that chicken livers come in - refrigerate - and put it in my pocket when I am ready to train -

My female doesnt have great drive - put  I can put that in my pocket - and touch it with my hand- and she turns into a crazy.  dog -   in fact - I don't even have to have a piece in my hand just the smell on my hand makes her work like crazy. 

Sounds gross when I talk about it - not really attractive to the man looking for a women - but hey - only dog men welcome...lol...  they would understand....

Happyday.

Cooked beef roast, beef liver,beef heart or any other cut of beef that is on sale, baked in oven, cut into very small pencil eraser sized pieces, put in portion sized baggies and kept in freezer until ready to use (thawed in refrigerator. for 12 hours).  While training, food is kept in a bait bag around my waist- the one from Leerburg is great.

Sorry, double post.

I use Zukes mini naturals or some freeze dried liver in little pieces.
Also, Solid Gold, I think it's lamb?
They love them.  The freeze dried liver can sit on the shelf.  The Zukes has to be zip locked or else they turn in to BB's
I just attach the pouch to the back of my jeans and we're off!

I like the Natural Balance Food Rolls. I buy the big ones and cut them up into tiny pieces, then seperate them into ziploc baggies and keep them in my fridge. I can just pull out a baggie before training.

I also keep the smaller rolls in my car in case I forget to grab some from the fridge. I keep a knife and small cutting board in my training box. As long as you dont open the roll, they stay fresh, but if you open them, you have to refrigerate.

I also use the Bil-Jac liver treats. (But not the big ones) They call them "little Jacs" or something like that... they are a tiny, chewier version of the big ones, made for smaller dogs. They come in a purple package and they are cheap. Like $1.50 There are ALOT in a package too...
