    I tried Ariel with sardines 3 weeks ago....she loved them while out training, then sicked them all back up on the kitchen floor.

    :facepalm: Such a sensitive tummy.....hope she doesn't lose her lab status! :inlove:

    I just ordered one, can’t wait! I’m hoping this will help Axel’s loose lead training.

    Ok all you sardine experts - which is best? In brine, tomato sauce or sunflower oil?

    Have just started mixing one with Maisy's dinner and she loves them!!

    I rotate them. The oil ones seem to have the most immediate effect on her coat, and I drain the brine away, but she likes all of them. Or liked, until she decided it was time for another food upgrade :)

    Cant go wrong with Tomato and wild caught once just to top it off. Or to up the reward nice herring in tomato...
    Will add I have them in a small tuperware and my hands smell nice after her treat, but we only use them for recall.

    I’ve started using small cat food fish sachets - I have a peg to close them after using - when I get home I use what’s left in Kongs for freezing.

    Thanks to @selina27 for reminding me!

    :)

    Thanks for the sardine advice, I will go with tomato as I think this also reduces the acid in wee, therefore saving a few blades of grass on my lawn.

    I have some dried sprats I take on walks in a tuppaware pot for recall reward at the moment, lovely and stinky!

    I got a box of free samples of James Wellbeloved sachets with a recent order. They're about the same size as a cat food pouch, so perfect to go in a pocket and use as a high value emergency reward. The dogs love them.
