Treats for Doberman 5 Month

[KitCap]

What treats do you use for your doberman. He loves the beef liver bites but was reading they are not very good in a big amount. He is still training. Advice is welcomed greatly. Thanks.

For training, I use boiled chicken. I cut it into small cubes before I boil it. I consider beef liver "high value" training rewards not treats, and I use it sparingly mainly when introducing a new command.

Treats, I use baby carrots, no butter/no salt popcorn, apple slices, a raw frozen meatball if I'm making something with ground beef and sometimes even just a few pieces of their own kibble.

I toast hot dogs split down the middle in the toaster oven. She smells them cooking for 10 minutes or so and by the time they are done I have her full attention, training time. She loves carrots too. I use whole large carrots and let her nibble from the end to teach her how to eat from my hand slowly. About a 1/4 carrot at a time. I feed her the hot dogs the same way, a couple bites at a time. Just a couple things Savannah likes.

I also use hot dogs I put them in a paper towel and microwave to render out some of the fat

Boiled chicken worked well for me. Its healthy and I have never met a dog that didn’t go nuts for it. Jasper loves dried liver too but too much organ meat can cause stomach upset. So ill mix in just a few pieces. I also used small pieces of cheese but I wouldn't give too much of that either. I have done small sessions with blueberries and strawberries before. Interesting about the carrots. I never thought of that.

Awesome.... I just checked to see if I can get it locally and the same store I get my ground green tripe from (For Pet's Sake) carries it! WAHOO!

I use chicken for training treats, but I bake it bone in/skin on, let it cool and then cube it.

Hot dogs are really expensive where I live. They are about 2X more expensive than beef and 4X more expensive than chicken when it's on sale, but the spices in hot dogs do smell good!

I love to use dehydrated beef lung. Yet to meet a dog that doesn't love them!

Hot dogs, take a bite and spit at him when giving direction. Itll start making him pay attention to your face.

Then you have to put your mouth around a hot dog...

For training treats, I use FreshPet Select chicken food roll. Like Doberman Gang, I cube it and portion it out in snack-sized ziplock bags then keep the bags in the freezer. They thaw overnight in the refrigerator. I get them at Wal Mart in the refrigerated pet food section. They’re a LOT cheaper per ounce than bagged training treats and have a 4.5 star rating on Dog Food Advisor. ...and Gretel loves it!
