Oh my, Jon! She is just precious. I want to kiss that cute little nose. Welcome to Pet Talk!

I feed my 3 dogs Nutro's NC Lamb & Rice as well.
They get a range of treats in moderation - but I use pieces of kibble for training with food. For an extra good training treat, to get them REALLY interested - I break up soft treats into small pieces, such as Pupperoni's or Beggin' Strips. You're able to get them into very small pieces so one whole treat goes a long way.

My youngest trains with a tennis ball. If she does something right, she gets to fetch the ball or just hold it. (It is the center of her world, besides me!)
