Hi all,

As Monty is now 9 weeks old we are going to try teaching him sit, stay etc.

The plan was to reward him with treats on a successful attempt.

However, all the treats we have seen has said "not available for puppies less that 6 months'

And then the treats we have found says "Max 3 a day"

Any ideas?

Darren

I wouldn't bother buying 'treats' myself, a tiny ball of cheese is as good as anything. And as Monty gets older lots and lots of praise from you should do the trick.

I just use small bits of cheese, ham or chicken. The smaller the better, so he won't get to full to soon!

You can buy puppy training treats. They're not like the biscuits and they're tiny.

Are these suitable for puppies under 6 months?

Any idea where i can get these?

Darren

Most puppy treats can be given from 8 weeks but they contain a lot of artificial additives. Also they arent as smelly or tempting as a small piece of cheese or ham!! Save your cash and give him something more natural. They will do anything once they smell the cheese! Another good thing is chopped up liver they love it

Remember to keep the pieces really small, studies show they are more keen to learn when the treat is a tiny morsel! Not sure why but thats what the pros say. Also he'l get full less quickly

Good luck with your training!

^ will too much cheese upset their stomachs? Just wondering.

Yeah I wouldnt go overboard, to be honest i usually mix some of the dry kibble in with the cheese, then it has the taste and smell of the cheese but is just his usual food. Then you can take this from his daily food allowance and know that hes not gonna get fat lol x
