Add natural peanut butter = dog training treats! :D
We got a Shiba Inu 7 months ago. He just turned 7, and he can be stubborn. He came from an environment where the kid next door was mean to him and he had bad experiences with other dogs in the past
So, he's what's known as a "reactive dog" - low confidence and lots of fear when it comes to strangers and other dogs.
And just like an older human, older dogs have their habits and personalities. We felt like constantly giving him kibble for training treats was inconvenient, messy and not the easiest method. (Who wants to always carry around a bag of kibble or treats?) And we felt that so many treats would make treats no longer special to him and make him chubby.
The small spout/hole on these silicone tubes is perfect! The edge is rounded, so there is no way Suna could cut his tongue on it, and the soft "flaps" inside the hole prevent too much of the contents from oozing out.
Suna didn't know how much he loves peanut butter!, lmao! So, it's not about how much peanut butter he gets rewarded with but about the flavor and the fast rewards for him to create positive associations with following instructions and good behavior.
"Suna! Sit!" [doggy eager to flop his butt down!] "Goood! Good dog!" [Tiny bead of peanut butter, Suna licks it off. Pause for lesson to sink in for him]
"Suna! Give me paw!" [His eyes go wide and ge eagerly gives me a paw to shake] "Good doggy! Good Suna!" [Instant reward with tiny bead of peanut butter]
We use Crazy Richard's brand all-natural peanut butter. Zero sugar, zero fillers. The only ingredient on the label: roasted peanuts.
Update: I discovered that these are dishwasher safe! And, after you unscrew the flip top, the white plastic "collar" easily pops off of the silicone tube body so you can easily clean anything that might have seeped in between the two.
Never leaked so far! (I think it's been 4 months now?) The silicone is durable, so I never worry about it when I toss in a backpack with Suna's frisbee, ball and water for a day at the park. :)
