Hi all,
My first post for advice so be nice to me
Would really like advice on what treats to feed my 7mth old Jack (parson) russell called Marley.
We have only had him for 3 weeks, When he came he was eating bakers complete but have changed him to burns dry which he likes and I feel is much better for him (have noticed he has stopped licking his front paws already).
I have been cooking bits of chicken and liver he loves both, but as he lived on a farm and lived in a stable he isn't 100% house trained so want to use these extra special treats of chicken and liver for going to toilet outside.
I don't want to feed him treats that are high in additives etc so that kinda rules out most shop bought.
Would like to make my own treats and have found some recipes on the net and they contain ingredients that look good, so can i cook treats use cheese etc as I'm unsure as to whether he can have dairy foods?
We are both working hard at training as well so obviously want to keep treats small or he'll end up the size of a house and we can't walk outside for another 11 days as 2nd jab is tomorrow. (he is very timid also so have to watch the praise as he looks a little scared sometimes)
Plz Plz help
Many thanks in advance Sara and Marley
P.s nobody warned me that the first time your dog learns a command it is the best feeling in the intire universe

Thanks for the excellant tips. Will try both cheese and nuts. Am off to the dog food shop tomorrow as they have told me they have some natural holistic treats (It's where I buy the burns food) and she said there are some very small ones so great for training.
He has now had second jab so the vet has said we can go out for a walk but avoid other dogs for another 10 days, as he is completly confused by the lead it will probably take that long to get out of the front garden

Yep again on the cheese, mine loves cheese strings. She is also a big fan of little slices of sausage. Natures menu do little bags of natural treats which they stock in pets at home, but to be honest the cheese and sausage would probably go doen better and are probably cheaper.
Also someone posted a receipe for liver cake on here recently (think it was beagler) so you could do that to if you are feeling creative.
Welcome to the forum btw and we are alway nice to people!!

Doh - what an idiot i am never even thought about sausages, organic of couse lol.
DH will be moaning - he came home yesterday to find I had cooked liver as treats for the dog but hadn't cooked him any (he loves liver and onions) and said "dog gets fed better then I do." He was only joking and a kiss soon sorted him out - DH not dog!

DH just can't get the tilting of the head and the eyes right yet though he does try
TY again for all your excellant tips. I have been to the pet store and managed to get several bags of treats all natural and holistic. I even managed to get the fish bites by burns that were recommended (yes they stink ).

My dog tuli loves gardening. He especially likes picking the vegetables. I think his favourite is fresh beans. Over the summer we would sit on the couch and share a handful of beans while watching tv. He also likes eating the leaves. Carrots and beetroot are also favourites - but he is a messy eater - leaves scraps all over the carpet.
