I use cheese and it works fine. Trick is to make them real small pieces Sheila

It binds them up! and I don't like his stool after he's had it. Also if you do give it (or whatever you give) make sure its only a little tiny bit. When that trainer offered him half a mozzarela stick he ate it with relish (that was the last day she trained him!) maybe a mozzarela stick is good for a golden or some other larger dog but my guys weight is about only 12 sticks (LOL) so its a bit much. It also took us awhile until we found something that was good for training. (Its got to be consumed pretty easily so the training can commence) We were using turkey or lamb jerkey dog treats which are soft little squares (still I would break them up into quarters or less) I too am looking for something new as I'm careful what I feed him and those snacks (which he loved) though marked "natural" are full of preservatives and spices. Try a teensy weensy bit of cheese but maybe its all just too exciting yet for the wee one. Have fun! best, michelle and henry in the beautiful Catskill Mountains, NY _____ <http://pr.atwola.com/promoclk/1615326657x4311227241x4298082137/aol?redir=ht tp%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eaol%2Ecom%2Fnewaol> Check out the new AOL.
