Magic Treat Box

Those of you who follow Cattie Rattie's blog and the Rescued Ratties blog will recognize this one! After seeing the fun their dogs had getting to choose from a magical box of treats, I knew this is a bandwagon I better start riding!

This is a pretty easy game. I fill a box full of chewy delights. This box has duck feet, 3" sections of beef trachea, beef lung, dried pigs ear, and bully sticks, but it can include whatever I have to offer and the dog might like. I put the box down and let the dog choose which treat they desire. There is no right or wrong answer, and no matter what they choose they win! It's a great game for your dog to experience choosing for themselves without any pressure or consequences - besides getting a treat of course! Plus, its a lot of fun to see them perusing the selection like we peruse the dessert cart at a restaurant, and it helps us know what treats our dogs prefer the most.

After doing a session of TTouch groundwork, Cody is rewarded by having first pick out of the box! Maya and Sappho got to participate as well, and showed that each dog has their own favorite!

In case you missed it, Cody first chose a trachea, dropped it, and went back for a ducks foot. Maya decided on a slab of beef lung. Sappho chose a trachea for herself. Looks like the bully sticks and pigs ears aren't at the top of their lists!
