i use chicken and sausages but he's much rather have rabbit if he finds one. in fields, he's much more responsive and just trots along and minds his own business and comes when called all the time, but as soon as we hit any trees or woods, his mind switches and it's too many smells to think about me. i might try liver cake. can you buy it or do you have to make it?
