leopuppy04 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 OK - I've tried a whole bunch, but I want to know what your dogs like most as kibble used for training.... and you too. Ones that are healthy, a reasonable size (you can throw it and they can find it) and the dogs love the taste of. My dogs LOVE the taste of the Maximal Grain Artemis best, but it's probably a little small for me to throw...... They like Euk, Science Diet and advance... but don't really like these foods even as treats (like the size though!) Sooo... ideas?! I'm thinking I might try some RC... but I want something full of meat that has a good taste for them ... I know I used one before that they LOVED but can not remember what it was :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tramissa Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I use the nature's gift semi moist, but that's probably too small for your guys. Sorry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leopuppy04 Posted February 11, 2009 Author Share Posted February 11, 2009 (edited) yeah - that's our 'special' treats Good size though but not for throwing. The joys of having really food motivated dogs is that any food is a brilliant reward I'm looking for something really healthy that I can use for a trade off for dinner if I need too They are fed Artemis, but as I said - pieces are a bit small for certain bits of training :rolleyes: Edited February 11, 2009 by leopuppy04 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ness Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Why does it have to be kibble LP????? Plenty of other treats that are throwable sized and easy to get hold of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leopuppy04 Posted February 11, 2009 Author Share Posted February 11, 2009 Healthier Ness... want something to substitute dinner :rolleyes: I have a huge range of 'good' treats that we use, but I don't want them getting hot dog every night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ness Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 (edited) Raw chunks of sweet potato for example. Chunks of fruit. (If you want healthy). Otherwise there all the other treats that can be cut to throwable size. I tend to use 4-legs if I want throwable sized treats which a healthy.

Although I am not sure I would use them every night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ness Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 should try the steamed baby carrots on miss fatty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leopuppy04 Posted February 11, 2009 Author Share Posted February 11, 2009 LOL - well they are already on my list - but I specifically want kibble so that I can have them in my pockets or around the place for throwing outside (laffi knows why)... not food that I have to freeze or chop up as I do use most of these at other times.... so I am specifically looking for tasty kibble that is a nice size to throw Difficult aren't I?!

laffi Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 should try the steamed baby carrots on miss fatty. I think it's a good idea :rolleyes: Btw I buy them frozen (as they are much cheaper) and just microwave them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 You could try Coprice Working Dog food. I buy this and mix it with their Advance and they bloody love the stuff. The kibble is a little bigger than a 10 cent piece Its not classed as a "premium" food as such, but I have had great results with it so you could look into it a little more :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ness Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Yeah your really difficult LP - not going to answer you again. I just use eagle pack seems to be fine for throwing (or maybe my starved girl is just good at catching). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laffi Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 RC giant breed kibble has big enough pieces for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leopuppy04 Posted February 11, 2009 Author Share Posted February 11, 2009 Thanks BC :rolleyes: Well Ness - we have a deck outside so the food can fall through the slats, hence why I'm difficult Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ness Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 - fair enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna H Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I use RC puppy here for Ollie, but it is getting to be a bit small for throwing. I've found he goes nuts for carrot tho, so have been using that a bit, as well as 4 legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ptolomy Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 My kids are all on a weight reduction program so I have been using some dry food for treats as well. I have been using Bean's dry food (Calafornia Natural Herring and Sweet Potato - only because I can feed it to all of them) and I have been adding pumpkin cut up into small bits. I am sure it all gets swallowed whole anyway :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ness Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Ptolomy - wonder why that is the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kavik Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I am feeding Advance at the moment - seems to be a good size for this too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
