Treats for Training Class
« on: July 16, 2007, 09:24:15 PM »
I am finding it very difficult to get decent treats to use for training Jessie.

She is food motivated but usually she is more interested in the other handlers treats not mine.

I have tried:-

Burns Fishy Training Treats
Cheese
Liver
Her normal kibble  ph34r
Sausages

I dont want to give her frank(en)furters which is what she seems to try and snaffle as she is quite sensitiveand will be hyper on them. She doesnt get any highly processed food/treats at all so reacts quite badly when she does get one thats colourful or got added flavourings.

I cant stomach the thought of making livercake...

What about chicken? Or Tuna Bread? Would she be okay if you just put a few bits of hot dog into the treat bag so that the other treats get the flavour?

For Kali I get the leanest pork luncheon meat or chopped pork I can find.  I get about a quarter of a pound then I get an apple corer and cut out circles.  Kali loves them.  I use Cheerios at home though :blink:

We have a combination of Tuna Bread (Agility only), cheese and chicken (showing) and gravy bones for day to day rewards in the home and finally out walking Garlic/Hotdog Sausages.  I always try to keep to different treats for different occasions, so that the boys know what work they are being asked to do.  Rocky is starting to get the idea finally about treats :D

Hurley will sell his soul for the Natures Menu treats..... in fact I think they went down quite well with all the dogs on the recent COL meet.

In fact his recall has begun to improve dramatically when he knows I've got these in my pocket  :lol:

Janey, you don't need to any good at cooking to make tuna bread ;) all you need to do is this

1 tin of tuna (if in brine, drain this off)
1 egg
sprinkle of garlic powder
a splach of oil (I use olive oil but you can use any cooking oil)
90g of plain flour (add more flour if needed to make it a 'dough' texture)

stir this up with a fork
put it into a pyrex dish or on a plate about 1 cm deep
put in the microwave for 4 minutes on high.
let is cool and then your tuna bread is all ready to be chopped up.

Have a go, you'll be surprised how easy it is. ;)
