Choosing a Dog Treat
I don't give my Cairn Terriers a treat every day, but when I do I often let them choose their own treat. The exception would be if I'm watching a TV program and I want more than few minutes of quiet time to enjoy it. Then I'll choose a longer lasting treat for them like pig ears or large bone.
"After coming back from a long walk yesterday with Dad, Mom greeting us with a Summertime Dog Chew Treat. Wow, did that feel great!"

Molly and Jack both know where the treat cabinet is in our home. All I have to do is ask them if they want a treat, and they beat me to the cabinet door. Sometimes I'll whisper it in their ear as a little game.
I keep a variety of Dog Treats in a plastic container in the treat cabinet. I place the opened container on the floor, and they choose which treat they want. I have found this puts the decision making task on them. If they choose a treat they don't like as well as what the other one has, they will choose wiser next time. It's also a lot of fun for them to see a big selection of treats in front them but they only get to choose one.
I never give my Cairns what I would consider a supervision only treat, unless I will be there to watch them while they eat it. Supervision only treats are anything they could choke on like rawhide bones.
