I've recently decided to train my dog (husky/chow/pit mix) with his Nutro dog food. He seems to really love the food. This morning was the first time I trained him with it. It's not the first /lessons/ of training, however. I trained him since he was 7 weeks. Now he's 7 months. He knows sit, stay, come, down, wait, up, off, speak, release, and 'okay'... Of course, he only does them if there are no distractions. He does alright without treats. The only ones he's really got down packed are 'release' and 'okay'. Still workin', though. =P So, do you think it's a good idea to measure his food, and give it to him piece by piece as I work with him on his training? Instead of loading him with treats. I heard it's not good to give a dog too many treats at one time... What do you think? =)

Heh, I don't have to worry about him not looking forward to it. xD He loves it as if they actually were treats. =P Of course, I just put him on it, so maybe it will wear off, maybe not. If it does, I could just get a different dog food and use it specifically for training. =P My other dog also loves the Nutro. I thought I'd have one Hell of a time trying to get her back on dry dog food after I had been giving her fresh beef and chicken mixed with her dry food. (I was trying to get her weight back up b/c she had been starved. I rescued her from my friend's family) But to my surprise, she loved Nutro! xP
