Thanks everyone! I had just typed something but got an error message so sorry if this repeats.
I tried Paul Newman's treats b/c one of them is gluten free (I have Lupus and try to be gluten free for my illness and know gluten is evil, yummy, but evil), but he didn't like it, then I tried dried liver treats, and would only eat it if I put it on the floor, but seemed to have a hard time with it-too hard for me to break into a bunch of small pieces, only a few but they were too big for using as training treats. I finally found the softer liver treats, I can break it into many pieces but at first he still wouldn't take it from my hand...I wound up putting a piece into his mouth and from then on he thinks whenever I come over to the play area he's getting a treat! It's only day 2 with him and loving every minute of it! He's still afraid of the outside, I place him on our patio or driveway and he just shakes. One day at a time!

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 > > _____________________________________________________________________ ___ > Check out the new AOL.
