    Kai - Treats. He'll work for any treat but he gets most excited with cheese. I use cheese for agility training since he speeds up most when I use it.

    Kaedyn - Treats and praise. He'd rather get the treat but he responds very well with praise alone too.

    Kuri - Fetch, frisbee, tug, treat. He prefers the frisbee and tug over the fetch and treat but he'll work for any of them.

    Marta works for food...though she does like play, too.

    Both Adele and Vallis get too focused on the treat for food to work. Praise works better with those two.

    Shadow, Micki, Mini and Jack NEED food. Heck, Jack won't even play fetch with a toy unless he's rewarded with food! They do work for praise though, they just aren't as willing to do anything and they're much slower.

    Kyra will gladly do anything for a game of fetch.

    Hyzzie is treats big time but easily excited with toys too.

    Quasi is all about prtaise but does like certain treats.

    Mine all do best with food. Praise is a close second though. Nacey is the only one who really gets motivated by toys.
