Re: dog food / dog treats

[Mary-Ann Bowman]

My dogs love raw marrow bones, and I give those out for chewing. I train
with a variety of treats -- usually string cheese but also about anything
else. I like using bananas for tracking because they smell and are easy for
the dog to eat and move. In general, training treats should be soft so that
one does not spend a lot of time waiting for the treat to be chewed up --
pasta, cut up meat, cheese, cereal, whatever. I rarely use "real" dog
treats -- too expensive and usually not as healthy as "human" food.
