Answer 1

My cats go absolutely nuts of LouisRich turkey bacon. It's the funniest thing I've ever seen and by far their favorite "treat." They don't have the same reaction for pork bacon or anything else. The store-bought treat they flip for are "Pit-Pats." Historically I've found them at PetSmart or Meiers. They are in a little pink and white tin and called kitty breath fresheners; although I've never noticed them to freshen breath, the cats LOVE them! Hillarity!

first of all, NO body contact with the dog (Kneeing, stomping on toes, etc) this IS painful. would you like it if someone did it to you? also, the obedience classes are where you need to start. if you step on toes, you can break them and them you not only have an untrusting dog, but a vet bill. stupid idea. shock collars are only used in the most aggressive of cases; don't do unless you have a trainer assisting you. last, try this: put a choker collar (either metal, chain, or prong-your choice) on with a 4 ft. leash. when he approaches you to jump, take the leash, FIRMLY and in a low growly-voice say OFF. put him in a down position. then when he does that gently say good boy. if you touch a dog when it is doing a bad behavior, you are only reinforcing that behavior to be stronger. his excitability level is allready high, so touching increases that. don't over-do the praise though. he'll just get excited again. practice,practice,practice. same thing with the barking. give him a leash correction and tell him NO BARK in that special voice. if you gain control as the alpha dog, he will respect what you say, but dogs are always trying to get the uperhand so you have to be top dog 24/7. if he is outside barking all the time, he is bored too. take him for a long hard walk with you in control and when he is worn out he can listen better. it's like having a 2 yr old human running loose through your house that has never been disciplined.

Answer 3

Home made treats are good, But if your cat needs certain vitamins or minerals, just let the professionals make some.

Answer 4

I make tuna treats for my kitty. He LOVES them. I like making my own treats better because then you know exactly what's in them, even if they don't last as long.

Here's a good site with the tuna recipe I use, along with others:
