Just love it! Fond memories of my pups getting their first raw meaty bones too! Would like to add in a puppy training pointer here! This the ideal time to begin the training that allows you to remove coveted things from dogs' mouths without getting bitten yourself! And start the training that means those pups do not snatch food from your hand. Yes, wee babes! Love those RMB's! Better than any treat you can buy or make and bake. "Sit, Wait, OK!" Found it the easiest way ever to train "Sit". Even the youngest pup learns this in a few short moments when RMB is the treat! "Wait and OK!" takes a bit longer! Then there is the "Off" command! Any pup attempts to get in there without permission gets this one as a growl first. Once learned is to stop chewing and drop it! But, well worth it when you can go in and get them to give up the prized bone without protest. Do it from the very start 'cause when they are a lot bigger you never know when you will need it! Out in the big wide world, who knows what they will pick up and when you will want them to let go!
