Zach got a Cow Tail, very different than a bully stick, for being a good helper, but he was so busy reading he almost missed out. Scout did really well, one of the “tests” we had was a relay race, one by one we would go across the room and have to put the dogs in a stay. Then one by one move six biscuits from one plate to another plate on the floor with chopsticks. Not one dog stole a biscuit! We start intermediate classes in two weeks so that just gives us 14 days to whip him into shape.

We have two Smooth Fox Terriers that go berzerk for the 'chews' -- as we call them -- and will whittle one down to a stub in about an hour (the really thick ones). Sometimes works to have one more chew than the number of dogs so there's not too much scrapping. Our one girl used to gnaw them down to about 2" long, then when we'd try to take it away because it was close to a choke hazard -- she would swallow it. I remember always telling her, "That's gonna hurt coming out!" It’s so true how much the dogs love these.
