Best Treats...EVER

Rocky and I are taking agility from Branchwater Border Collies outside of Baltimore. This is actually the place that Rocky's Mom and Dad were bread so it's pretty cool. But the class we're taking is intermediate agility, and after the first class (video below) Rocky and I learned more that our 8 week class in CT.

 

The other dogs in Rocky's class are another border collie, a boxer and a poodle. Now of course I think Rocky is the best but really...she's the best! She just loves it so freakin' much. If you turn your volume up on your computer you can hear her bark as she goes around the course, it's pretty cute. Aside from her crazy drive one thing that really helps motivate her to work are Natural Balance treats.

They are kind of weird looking...you can find them in the food section of any Petco in the tube pictured above. They come in turkey, lamb and beef. I usually get the 4lb log (the larger one) and cut up the whole thing into little nuggets...or you can use a grater. 

 

The only down side is that once you open the treats they need to be either refrigerated or frozen. Gross I know dog stuff in your frig, but after you've kept raw meat in the fridge (like we did for Tripper) this is nothing. And the great thing is that we keep most of it in a large gallon zip lock bag and pull out only what we need for the day, they thaw super quick. 

So if you're looking for a treat your dog will drool over...check out Natural Balance. It works for Rocky and she's a super picky eater!
