What is your dog's highest value treat?

[Muttkip]

For Outlaw nothing compares to his love of apples and kiwis. He would run for president for an apple! I can get him to do anything for them and his Nutro Apple crunchy treats.

For Takoda, her favorite is fries or these cheap dollar chicken treats we get.

Beau was ALL about cheese. He would've died for cheese.

What is your dog's favorite?

 

[JacksonsMom]

CHEESE. He will do anything for cheese.

But really most types of meat.

He likes a few select dog treats alot - Cloud Star Buddy Biscuits, Bravo! freeze dried, etc, and will work for them but his highest reward ever is either cheese or chicken or beef etc.

Food.

But the TRUE crack is Stella and Chewy's dehydrated raw patties broken into wee bits.

Summer likes food. I'm not even sure she has a chance to taste it before it gets gulped down to be honest. She works just as nicely for kibble as anything else.

Mia gets bored some so I switch it up as much as possible. She likes pepperonis and salami for super high value. Cheese too. Hotdogs. Meatballs. Anything smelly like that.

Anything food really lol like summer, he works really hard for just kibble.

When I want to step up the anty he LOVES, strangely enough, greenies pillpockets cut up. The hickory smoke ones are really stinky and he loves them.

He started getting them when he was on meds and I kept buying them he loves them so much

Dehydrated liver of any kind. ALL the dogs go nuts.

 

[PWCorgi]

Natural Balance canned wild boar. It smells like bacon. The dogs completely lose their sh*t over it.

 

[Red.Apricot]

Liver!

 

[Moth]

Squeeze cheese...

They adore it.

 

[Tortilla]

Dehydrated liver of any kind. ALL the dogs go nuts.

This. Dehydrated liver is basically the only food Seamus cares about.

Tripe is always a big hit. Most food is just great in their minds though. I accidentally found out Badger goes batsh*t crazy over mozzarella sticks. Had some left over after dinner one night when I was on my way out to class with him. They pretty much blew his mind.

I don't really know what dog treats they like any more. I've pretty much stopped buying them since I can cook up some real meat for the same price/cheaper and get a much higher value treat. Although I do sometimes miss using primarily commercial treats when I discover I forgot a handful of steak in my pocket. That was never as gross with store-bought treats.

 

[Saeleofu]

Bananas.


I can open a banana in a different room...or even just tear one off the bunch...and Logan will come running.

 

[Whisper]

Millie will do anything for cheese.

Fable's not picky, any kind of meat will do (chicken, sandwich meat, liver, etc).

 

[Elrohwen]

Um, anything edible? Pretty much any meat or cheese product is awesome in his mind. I recently started using liver and that seems to be his new favorite.

 

[Tashapaws]

In the pet shop I go, whose owners have also the rescue I got Natasha from, they sell bags of treats for 1 Euro, without brand. She adores it.
With other dogs, she would ignore everything, even sometimes play. Show her one of those treats and she's all yours. I've gotten her reactivity to the point we can walk past other dogs without problems, and those treats have helped a lot.

 

[Oko]

Anything edible, and some things I didn't think were edible.

 

[Laurelin]

I honestly think with Summer it's more getting the click/getting things right than anything. Mia is that way too but a little pickier.

 

[Beanie]

I think Georgie's favorite thing in the whole wide world is squeeze cheese.

For the rest I would say maybe hot dog? Chicken and cheese are both good, but the hot dog smells so strongly, I think that's probably the best high value treat.

 

[Sekah]

Food.

This sounds about right.

Cohen will work her heart out for kibble. Yesterday she was losing her mind for sardine & oat treats someone brought to agility practice. I think it's novelty which gets her going more than anything. I can't say that there's one thing that, above all else, she loves.

 

[Paviche]

If it's food, Rowan will work his ass off for it. The ranking of "how much will he lose his mind" goes hard treats -> soft treats -> people food (cheese, hotdogs etc.) But he doesn't work harder for the higher value treats, he just gets more excited and loses focus, so I prefer small crunchy dog treats for training. We'll only consistently use high value treats for stuff like recall work.

Riff doesn't seem to care much but I haven't done a lot of training with him yet.
