Beggin Strips?

Sometimes I buy string cheese as you can cut that up just like Carrie said about hot dogs. The individually packaged kind is nice for travelling (and nice for a snack for me too on the road. ;)). Once you figure out what your dog likes, it's good to have a variety around the house…some they REALLY REALLY like and others they like okay. I find it helps with training depending on the situation.

I just tried the oven made chicken jerky somebody recommended… DISGUSTING! (had to taste one for myself after spending all that time prepping it haha ), but the girls LOVED them!! Did any command I asked instantly!

Really? I found it kind of bland, but not horrible. Hard and crunchy, not quite the right texture for chicken in my book, but not horrible.

I'm not a huge fan of chicken to begin with, so nothing about it appealed to me really. But I was also the kid who had to touch the stovetop even after mom said "Don't touch! You'll hurt yourself!" I've got to prove things to myself….

YUCK! The only time we had BS in our house, the basenji refused to eat it adn it even took several tries to get the lab (described as walking stomach) to eat them. But my current pups do like raw fresh grown zucchinis.

I actually steamed brussel sprouts & green beans together with my dinner last night & poured the resulting veggie flavored water onto Lola & Callie's dinner. They didn't seem to mind a bit, but I don't know how much it actually tasted like brussel sprouts…

We can't keep brussel sprouts in stock at our house. She likes the little nasty bitter ones that would make people gag. She's never met a veggie or bean she didn't like but why brussel sprouts????
