Sayreovi Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I use the lunch meat rolls for most things, occasionally liver or kabana. For flyball comps i actually use dim sims, its the only time ever they get them and one boy in particular adores them which is what led me to only use them when he competes People laugh when i tell them what i use but hey if it works it works and i dont laugh at them using a tug toy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaCharlie Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 My treat bags for Delta's training usually have a mixture of frankfurts, cheese, cabanossi, cat kibble, those natures gift treats, and water cracker biscuits. Sometimes I throw in some chicken if I have it. I find that if the dog knows what treat is coming it can choose whether or not to work for it. Keeping a variety means that you are as surprised as the dog at what you pull out each time. Charlie generally wont work for food but he will do anything you ask if you have a tennis ball in your hand. So, his reward is a toss of the ball when he finishes a course. I even have a little tennis ball that I use for obedience, whenever there is a slight break in training (even 10secs is fine) I chuck it into his mouth once or twice. You can't throw anything at flyball which had me stumped for a while. Then I discovered that he LOVES the dried chicken breast pieces (Kramar brand) that have just started appearing in the supermarkets. He prefers them to his tennis ball at the moment so I use them for flyball comps. I don't use them at training as I would rather keep them as the really special treat.

Staff'n'Toller Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 If you're working in a Vet Clinic at the moment you should be able to source the Lamb Crumbles- Aussie Pet Health Treats make nice thin ones. The newest thing I've found is tucker time sample rolls see if you can get some from your wholesaler. Mel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jillybean Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I use a variety of things.. Usually something along the lines of VIP puppy chunkers, cheese, frankfurts and bits of cooked chicken breast. The cheese seems to be the winner though!

TeamSnag Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 cheese works for my dogs also! But then again they would eat anything lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badboyz Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 You can buy 1 kg packs of roast chicken meat already cut up and frozen in some supermarkets (Coles). I find this easy to leave in the freezer. When getting ready to go out I grab some and put in a zip-lock bag. It defrosts by the time I am ready to use it. I have also used cut up cheerios and dog meat rolls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kobblyness Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 I use a combination of Natures gift liver treats and VIP Chunkers. My dogs really love the chunkers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
