I’m late to the Orijen party, but let me tell ya, these dog treats changed our paws-on training sessions drastically! Our boxer Marley was a bit stubborn when it came to practicing new commands, till we introduced Orijen. Now there’s his absolute commitment in every training session. The size of these treats is also jsut perfect for training purposes – big enough to catch their attention, small enough not to spoil their diet.
And I have to mention the quality ingredients. Seems like the high-protein content really suits Marley and keeps him energetic. Yes, they’re a tad more expensive than some other brands, but personally I find the quality worth every penny. For anyone trying for smooth rewards-based commands training or treating your pooch with healthy goodies, I wholeheartedly recommend Orijen. Just remember that treats are part of a balanced diet -thing moderation!
Is there any new flavor your dogs especially adore? We’re thinking about mixing things up a little!
Had a similar experience with Good ’n’ Fun dog treats – my Golden Retriever Thor was genuinely interested in them. However, I noticed the size of it: they are quite big for smaller dogs. So be sure to consider that beforehand.
As an alternative, I switched to Zuke’s Mini Naturals, as they are smaller and better suited for trainings too. It’s a bit more pricey but the quality pays off in my humble opinion.
Is anyone else using Zuke’s and observed any kind of difference in their furry friend’s behavior? Would be interesting to know! And remember, if you notice anything unusual, do consult with your vet.
Subject: A Long-Term Royal Canin User Chiming In
I’ve been a long-term user of Royal Canin myself, and I’ve got nothing but good words for this dry dog food. My golden retriever, Bailey, has been on it for over 3 years and he always wolfs down his meals like there’s no tomorrow! The kibble size is perfectly manageable for him, which was a concern initially as he tends to gulp his food rather than properly chewing.
My advice to any potential buyers would be to gradually introduce it into your pup’s diet if you’re making the switch. I began by mixing in just a small amount with Bailey’s old food and slowly increased it over several days. This approach to changing foods was suggested by my vet to avoid upsetting Bailey’s stomach.
If budget isn’t an issue and you’re after an excellent quality dry dog food with a good reputation and hundreds of positive reviews? I strongly recommend giving Royal Canin a try! As always, if you have any questions or concerns about your pup’s diet, don’t hesitate to consult with your vet.
I’ve got two Shih Tzus at home and I too switched to Merrick dry dog food about a year ago. The smaller kibble size was a major plus for my littl’ furballs and it seems the nutrient-dense formula really keeps their energy levels up. Cost-wise, it may feel a tad bit more than some brands, but when I see their shiny coats and happy attitudes, it seems well worth the investment. Has anyone else noticed more shiny coats on their pups after switching to Merrick?
Been using Charlee Bear for my boxer, Bruno, as well and he can’t seem to get enough of them. I particularly appreciate the small size of the treats – super convenient for on-the-go training and not too ‘heavy’ as rewards. Does anybody else find though that these treats crumble a bit in your pocket? Not a massive issue but a slight inconvenience when your pockets end up full of bits. Also, is there a different treat you would suggest that might hold up better during our regular park outings?
I’ve tried Blue Buffalo treats with my Border Collie, Albie, and let me tell you, they were an instant hit! Albie is known to be a bit picky when it comes to dog treats, but he was all over these from the moment I opened the bag. The treats are nice and small too, which is perfect for training sessions or just as a little reward for being a good boy. They do come at a higher price point compared to some other brands, but seeing Albie eagerly anticipating his treat makes it all worth it in my opinion. Just remember that even though they’re grain-free, these are still treats and should only make up a small part of your fur baby’s diet! If anyone has any favorite flavors they recommend, I’d love to hear about them.
Adding Value to Training Routines With Howl’s Kitchen Dog Treats
Had a chance to try these with my Pomeranian, Gully, while working on his new trick repertoire and I must say he seems pretty keen on them! Not too big, about the right size for small-to-medium dogs, and they seem plenty durable but still soft enogh for bit-sized training rewards. Price-wise, it’s fair—sometimes it feels like you’re splurging a bit, but I’m glad knowing that the ingredients are top natch.
And oh, here’s a tip—pace out giving the treats during training sessions. Too much at once and your dog may lose the incentive to perform tricks. Gully certainly tries to swindle more out of me!
Do any other pawrents use these as training rewards? What’s been your experience?
Totally agree with your review of Blue Buffalo dog treats. I’ve been using them for years to reward my furry pal, Rufus – a Great Dane with an appetite the size of Texas! The treats are definitely pricey, but they’re like the Rolls Royce of doggo snacks: top-notch quality, premium ingredients and they’re chunky enough for larger breeds.
One thing to watch out though – Rufus once found the bag and scoffed down half of it in one go! Not surprisingly he wasn’t interested in his dinner that night. So, be sure to store them somewhere out-of-reach if you have a voracious eater on your hands too.
Anyone else experienced this with their dogs? Or is it just sneaky ol’ Rufus here? Love to hear your stories.
Alright, so I haven’t got a dog myself but my sister who lives next door swears by these Triumph Dog treats. She’s been using them for her two rambunctious pugs and she keeps raving about how well they’ve taken to them. The price is pretty reasonable too considering the quality and durability of these treats. But, since everyone here seems to be rather positive about them, has anyone observed their dogs chewing on these any longer than usual? Or is my sister’s dog just an unusually persistent nibbler?
Echoing the Praise for Crazy Dog Train-Me! Treats
Body: Just gotta toss my leash into this discussion, as I’m also a major fan of Crazy Dog Train-Me! treats. My lab mix, Samson, is typically finicky when it comes to treat selection – but these? An absolute hit. Pocket-friendly tin makes it perfect trail snacks during our morning jogs and the durability is top-notch too; they don’t crumble in my pocket. On the pricing part, they’re just as affordable as any other quality training treat out there. To any new dog parents out there, one tip I’d give you is to try introducing treats gradually into training; don’t shower them all at once, Samson definitely works harder for his nibbles. How about you folks? Any specific commands your dogs learned faster with these treats? Let’s keep this treat talk going!
I’ve got to chime in here with my own two cents. I’ve been using different dog treats for my pudgy pug, Toby, but haven’t found quite the right one until we tried Nudges Natural. I love that they’re made in the USA and don’t have any artificial additives.
Here’s a little story: one day, I accidentally dropped a treat on the floor and instead of gobbling it up right away (which is typical Toby behavior), he took his sweet time sniffing it and then finally savored every bite. It was like he knew these were extra special treats!
In terms of price, they are a wee bit pricier compared to other options, but considering the quality and balanced nutrition they offer, it’s definitly worth tthe cost. It gives an added assurance when you can trust what’s going into your fur-baby’s tummy.
Anyone else notice their dogs savoring these treats or is it just Toby being a gourmet?
The Whimzees dog treats have truly been a surprise for me and my Bullmastiff, Bruno. Owing to his size, I initially had some doubts about the chewability and durability of these treats. Well, they proved me wrong! Bruno is in love with them and it’s really fun watching him gnaw away at those cute treat shapes.
What I also appreciated was the variety in sizes and styles offered – there was definitely something for every doggo out there. This not only added an element of excitement for Bruno but also helped to maintain good oral health without causing any discomfort or harm.
Price-wise, yes, they are on the higher end compared to other products on the market, but considering how long they last and their evident quality…I’d say it’s a worthy investment!
Do any of you folks know if the company makes similar treats catered towards specific dietary requirements? For example gluten-free or low-fat options? Thanks for sharing your experiences!
there, fellow NutriSource fans! Chiming in here with my little fur-baby experience. My Irish Setter, Ronnie, has been hooked on these treats ever since his early puppy days. There’s definitely something about the size and texture of NutriSource that just seems to stimulate their inherent love for chewing. Ronnie, being a big fella with a hearty appetite, likes his treats slightly larger, so I often buy the bigger variant.
From an owner perspective, I appreciate the durable packaging – it really is dog-proof (and believe me, Ronnie has tried to get into it plenty of times). Pricing isn’t painful either when considering the quality we’re getting. Here’s a tip though: always keep them stored in cool place as they tend to lose their crunchiness if left out for too long.
Please don’t take this as undeniable fact; every dog’s preference might skew differently. Still uncertain on what your pupper will enjoy? Trial packs are your friend! And remember, especially when introducing new snacks or diet changes it is always smart to consult with your vet first. Happy treating!
Absolutely agree with you both! I’ve been using Minties for my German Shepherd, Max, for about 2 years now. They’re quite durable and perfect for a chewer like him. When it comes to size, they have different options which is great. I usually opt for the large one for Max, keeps him busy for longer. As far as price goes, I think they’re reasonable for the quality that we’re getting. For any owners wondering about how to introduce these treats, I’d recommend starting with smaller sizes and gradually moving up – just helps your dog get used to it better. Just remember, although minties are good for dental health, it’s no substitute for regular brushing or vet checks.
I totally feel you there, folks! Having a couple of Shih Tzus in the house, I too used to think that the Hollywood Stars dog treats were quite large. And then I realized, these treats are actually great for a bit of fun training exercises! I started using it as a ‘find-the-treat’ game and my fur boys absolutely adored the hunt. They certainly are a tad pricier than some other options but given their size and optimal ingredient list, and the joy they bring to my boys, I’d say they’re worth every penny. Plus, they stay fresh for long so a bag goes a long way! Anyone else incorporate these treats into fun games?
