MolassesLass Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 (edited) At canine disc we give out a prize for 1st, 2nd and 3rd in each division at comps. Generally this is an item costing us under $5 as there are heaps to give out. We buy a bin full of toys and products at the moment and people pick out what they want. I'm wondering if there are other cheapish items we could offer, so what would you like to be able to pick out?

~*Shell*~ Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Personally I would take the treat (depending on what it is) - pigs ears are always good and are something that Zero would love to win! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huski Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 I would go a squeaky toy, plush toy, ball or tug depending on which one I like the look of most Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poodlefan Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 I'm a big cash & sash fan.. even a $2 prize is useful to everyone. At least allowing people to pick from a selection of things gives them choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MolassesLass Posted June 3, 2009 Author Share Posted June 3, 2009 At least allowing people to pick from a selection of things gives them choices. Yes and we soon learn what people don't like out of what we get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reddii Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 All expenses paid holiday to the Maldives? Seriously - have we thought about entry to the next competition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Clover Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Squeeky toy, rope toy, then treat (pigs ears are always good). We do fairly well at Flyball, sometimes getting Trophies & toys/ treats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MolassesLass Posted June 3, 2009 Author Share Posted June 3, 2009 No Reddii, I don't think anyone has suggested that - I like it for first place at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J... Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 I agree, free entries for the next trial are great. Provided that you remember you have free entries when you next enter that trial. I forgot, and had to wait until their next trial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reddii Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 No Reddii, I don't think anyone has suggested that - I like it for first place at least. That's what I was thinking - wouldn't do it for the minor placings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozjen Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 I like the idea of a voucher towards the next entry with the club, perhaps it could have a certain period to be used by so that if the winner could not make the next event(bitch in heat, injury or other commitements) they could use it for another one. I think its nice that your club has a selection of doggie goodies to choose from, I'm sure the dogs prefer those options although I must admit I like the ribbons. Some people are wary of dogfood treats if they come from China and those that feed raw aren't big on dog biscuits so not sure that these options would be as popular as the toys. I know if my dog had a choice it would be for the noisiest toy, so she can drive me nuts. She just loves those noisy ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MolassesLass Posted June 3, 2009 Author Share Posted June 3, 2009 It's really quite a fun way of doing things, a lot of people bring the dog up and let them choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leema Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 I probably wouldn't take product. I initially went rope toy... Plush toys are also good... Clover likes squeaky... If I gave her a choice, she would pick a ball toy... I ended up voting for everything except product, ribbon and other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
