    Super high value treats help please!

     So Jackson's rally trial is this weekend. It's very likely that DH is going to have to do at least one run with him. They've never worked together before. I need to come up with some super high value treats that'll make Jackson sit up and want to work with DH.

    Keep in mind, Jackson's a chewer, he even has to stop occasionally to chew a small piece of natural balance food roll. That's what I normally use for him.

    Any and all suggestions would be appreciated!!

    Oh and no, I can't think of any food that Jackson really goes over the top for...

    What about something more liquidy in a squeeze tube? That way you know he won't have to stop and chew it, but you can still use something really yummy like yogurt, blended meat or liver, anything that is liquid enough for him to easily lick and not have to chew.

    Fish fudge (google for recipes) or anything liver. Mine LOVE the Cadet Gourmet Duck.  They are sort of like jerky but I soak them in a bit of water for a while, then cut into little pieces and they are more like a soft treat.  They don't stink (to me) as bad as Zukes and food roll but my dogs do flips for it.

    Liver Bread always been a hit with every dog I've given it to.  Instead of doing it in a cake pan, you could spread it out really thin on a baking sheet, too.  Oh, and I found using chicken livers are easier on the blender than calf.

    Liver Bread

    Mix Jiffy cornbread mix, a pound of raw liver (pureed), an egg and some garlic powder, put in greased 13x 9 inch pan, bake according to corn bread directions on box, and voila! Dog treats!

     

    For Caleb, I make something similar with either canned pumpkin, mashed up bananas or canned meat mixed with oatmeal.  I spread it out on cookie sheets and bake until it looks kind of dry (not dried out, just not wet).
