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.

Freeze Dried Training Treats

I am often asked what kind of training treats I used to train my Cairn Terriers. First let me say that I am not a professional dog trainer. I have not had any dog training experience other than what I've read or taught myself. Most of what I tried worked but usually after lots of repetitive practice and patience.

Rawhide Treats and Bones

We occasionally give our Cairn Terriers rawhide bones and treats. However, we never give them access to any type of rawhide when we are not around or cannot be right there to watch them while they chew or eat it.
