Hi all I need tasty treat ideas for clicker training that are fish based. I think some of the tummy sensitivity with my 2 is my own fault. Ive been careful what I feed them because of how sensitive my old dog was. Probably too careful! I've been using liver treats for clicker training over the last couple of weeks but I think it is causing them to be looser even though it's hypoallergenic ! ( I am ridiculously paranoid about diarrhea :) Pippa suggests toast in Total Recall. I thought about trying that does anybody know how tolerated that is by dogs digestive system? The other thing I know they are fine with is fish. I have some salmon treats but use them sparingly as I think they are probably quite rich. I was thinking of breaking a couple up in a tub with toast so the toast would smell of them. ??? Any ideas would be gratefully received. Jen
Re: Tasty treats I use the fish4dogs products - too much sea jerky (fish skin) can give Charlie runny poo, but otherwise the fish based products are fine. They are super smelly - 95% fish, 5% rice. Not too high in calories. Charlie goes crazy for sea wrap treats - a stick of sweet potato wrapped in dried fishskin (it's the solid fish skin treats, sea jerky, that are a problem poo wise). For day to day stuff, I use the fish star treats. For Charlie though, nothing beats canned or fresh sardine...I cope better with the mess these days.
Re: Tasty treats Dried sprats go down well here and are not too smelly to carry around. At home Bess will work extra hard for a piece of sardine or salmon. Alice
Re: Tasty treats Thank you I used to feed Murphy fish4dogs don't know why I didnt think to look for treats . Thanks for the reminder Julie. Where do you get dried sprats from Alice ?
Re: Tasty treats Jen,Dex is really sensitive and I feed him a gastro intestinal kibble to help with it.I tried toast,spread with a little sardine oil to up the appeal!Ihad to judge the oil as too much did make him runny,I got the balance right for his stools but he had awful wind ( bread actually does the same to me.....too much info I know!)so I knocked it off....he now works to a 3 tier reward scheme basic-kibble ,higher reward,steamed chicken breast,highest reward roast chicken,sometimes warm always skin removed ;D Try the sardine toast....I only fed little pea size portions if it wasn't for the wind I would have carried on x
