Training Food
Eureka Pet Co - moist texture, easy to tear into pieces, high % protein. Can order on subscription.
Ziwi Peak - the “steam & dried” option. Small size, great for a treat that rolls (eg. for Ping Pong), treat dispensing toys and snuffle mats.
Farmers Mate or Prime 100 fresh dog roll - diced, frozen in freezer bags ready to defrost as you need.
Roast chicken meat - no skin or fatty bits.
Scrambled or chopped boiled eggs.
Pork or Beef Kooee stick - cut into tiny slices for gold level recall reward.
Blueberries
Banana
Cucumber and carrot chunks
Dried liver (can be rich and not as motivating as you might think)
*I have no affiliation with nor do I receive commission from any brands mentioned.
Chews
Quick crunchy chews (only lasts a few minutes, also good broken up for training) such as dried meat - roo jerky, chicken jerky, green tripe, carrot, frozen green beans and Rabbit/Goat/Roo ears – more crunch than chew.
Long lasting natural chews
Here is a list of some options I’ve found to be the most popular with the dogs I’ve worked with:
-Stuffed semi frozen Toppl or Kong
-Thin bully/pizzle sticks
-Kangaroo tendon
-Beef achilles
-Dried cod skins
-Puffed lambs’ ear
Products
Toppl - Wider mouth, to make things easier for novices, and more versatility than a Kong.
You can put two together to make a toy that dispenses individual treats or a more challenging licking activty.
Kong Wobbler
Soft Pinecone Puzzle Great food dispensing toy that’s easy to fill and gentle on the ears, great for noise dogs and households.
Orbee Tuff Snoop Another great food dispensing toy that’s easy to fill and wash that’s gentle for sensitive dogs.
The Cup Cake Toy This is one of my most used toys. You can fill with wet food and freeze in the summer, great for teething pups and senior dogs. Fill with dry food and insert longer pieces such as jerky, chews or block the top with wet food.
All in all this toy will be a staple in your daily lives to entertain and fulfil your puppy or dog.
Made from non toxic rubber, its dishwasher safe which makes it super easy to wash and keep clean.
Comes in a few sizes.
Wagd Harness Nonrestrictive harness with two D-rings, on front and back, to choose from or use together, plus the option to buckle around the neck rather than go over the head and ears. My default recommendation.
Wildhunde Biothane Leads Waterproof, stink-proof, tripe stitched for strength, available in many lengths and can custom order.
