One patty for me, one for Radar, one for Dixie.<br /><br />When Dixie arrived at Sea-Tac airport from Atlanta, I wanted to quickly impress on her that we were good people, and Wendy's helped make it so. She got the whole triple, no bun, at a nearby park before we drove home.<br /><br />Ron in Vancouver, BCronstewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11809825961862332106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6616115718711383229.post-15746519099799952012011-02-16T13:43:10.419-08:002011-02-16T13:43:10.419-08:00Thanks, all; I feel somewhat less weenie-ish.

I'm mostly just flustered w/training and irritated that I wasted a CHEESEBURGER (Dawn, yes, the mac daddy best thing I could think of) on a basic class (and he still wouldn't heel). It's just a learning curve.<br />RDM - The buffalo bites look like they'd work for most everything. Thanks for the link!<br />Taryn - JF would work for cereal for sure - he loves blueberry mini wheats. :) Not stinky enough for Dewi though.Elizabeth Keenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07710489912663020646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6616115718711383229.post-91578862021546390772011-02-16T08:04:08.255-08:002011-02-16T08:04:08.255-08:00I am a food snob too when it comes to my dogs.

Most of the time I do try to use all natural training treats, but sweet junk food really catches Jimmy's interest. We have trouble with the table in agility, so the rewards have to be over the top for that one obstacle. Last week I used the popcorn out of a bag of Harry and David's Moose Munch! It's covered in caramel and suger and pumpkin seeds! His eyes about popped out of his head when he tasted it! On other occasions I have used Capt. Crunch cereal. It's all aboout being high value!Tarynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16523449106100926340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6616115718711383229.post-39511482865453746502011-02-16T06:14:50.316-08:002011-02-16T06:14:50.316-08:00Well, I have been giving Magic cheeseburgers as a ...Well, I have been giving Magic cheeseburgers as a reward his whole life. Its his favorite. You can even hear me remind him about his cheeseburger in the weight pulling video. Personally I dont think a cheeseburger occasionally is going to be a problem. If he enjoys it and will earn it, why not.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00383214875457202545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6616115718711383229.post-47708260350361231342011-02-15T14:57:22.575-08:002011-02-15T14:57:22.575-08:00This is my all-time favorite training treat.

Inexpensive, don't need to be refrigerated, soft enough to easily break into pieces, stinky enough to get the dog's attention and not greasy. If you ONLY use them for training they should be pretty high value and they are basically pretty healthy too. I only use stuff like pork sausage and steak for the breed ring. This is what I use for just about everything else training-related.Red Dog Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10913211067878523753noreply@blogger.com
