Let the 1,000 Treat Challenge begin!

I know Jesse thinks I spend too much money on the dogs.  I probably do but I want them to be healthy and happy and like being with us so I don’t worry too much about the cost, especially during times where we may be more flush than others.

Case in point, I just bought a crap-ton of Cloud Star dog treats from Amazon.  They appear to be good training-size treats and I’m too lazy to make my own.  I like that they have minimal ingredients and I bought different flavors of different style treats to keep it interesting to the pups.

We received the first part of the order yesterday, so I started the 1,000 Treat Challenge. Nothing like not procrastinating when you have the goods.  The idea of the 1,000 Treat Challenge is to set aside 1k treats and over the next two weeks to use all those treats just training one specific skill.  I decided to do this challenge with the dogs’ new harnesses.  These harnesses are the step-in kind and the dogs were not used to this style at all.  To be fair, we didn’t acclimate them well to their other, now-defunct harnesses to the point where Luca would run away when it was time to put it on.

The company has registered doctors all over Australia and you can avoid the uncomfortable situation of purchasing it over the counter at your local viagra pfizer online pharmacy. We can’t help but think, Our Lady had a direct hand sildenafil cost greyandgrey.com in raising John.

This particular pill should not be practiced by the Europeans, Native Americans, and by the peoples in the countries of cialis 10 mg additional info Malaysia and Indonesia and was proven to be a strong aphrodisiac. The above video is kind of the model I’m using to do the training.  I had the non-working dog in a crate while I was working with the other dog because otherwise I would have just been mugged by both dogs trying to get treats.  I guess that’s another training I need to do.  For the time being, I am using the Cloud Star Crunchy Tricky Trainers in Cheddar.

Our dogs didn’t quite get the gist of stepping into the holes and I probably rushed everything, but I’m going to keep working on it. I spent 50 treats on each dog yesterday, and probably should have done another training later that day to reinforce the earlier training.  Oh well, I will do the training again tonight.

We also tentatively have a behaviorist coming on Monday night to work on resource guarding issues, so fingers crossed that will produce results.
