Tibbie_tabbie Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 These are great! I use them when doing active rewards - ie agility, running, as no chance of choking/ dropping. My Tibbie hates being brushed but will now tolerate it, so I let him 'hold' the stick still with one paw while he licks at it and I can brush him, even his tail and pantaloons (least favourite brushing place) with no attempts to run away :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chequeredblackdog Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 My friend won one of these in a trial. It is actually pretty awesome, all the dogs I've seen try it loved it. Not sure if I'd use one, but I can see the merit in it..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daisy.Tea Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 It's pretty handy for grooming and on the go treating. They actually smell, well the one I got. I think from memory it's the liver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulesP Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I got one in a free sample bag. The dogs do like it. Think I heard something about a dog swallowing the ball thing so some caution is needed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megan_ Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 yeah there were a few cases reported in the US of dogs being injured or dying due to chomping too hard on the ball - it can dislodge and be swallowed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tibbie_tabbie Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 yeah there were a few cases reported in the US of dogs being injured or dying due to chomping too hard on the ball - it can dislodge and be swallowed It really isnt designed to be bitten on, definitely wouldn't leave the dogs alone with it.

Thanks for highlighting this. A dog being too enthusiastic I guess. Mine are a bit like 'do we just lick?, are you sure?' and try and have a nibble.

Daisy.Tea Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I got mine for $9 something at petstock. It was a while ago. Definitely a use with common sense sort of treat. My dog licks it and when my pup bites the ball part it gets taken away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Clover Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Yep I got a few of these at the dog lovers show. Paid about $9 or so for them. The dogs quite like them but I have been slack and not really used them as training rewards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poodle Mum Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I use mine in puppy training classes as a jackpot...puppies love it. My own poodles are stupidly fussy.....they haven't got a clue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cali Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 it gets really cold over here in the winter and these make fabulous training rewards in the cold, trying to fumble with regular treats with mitts on is kinda hard lol and without mitts you can't move your fingers. before these things came about we solved it by rewarding with PB on a wooden spoon but that would cause some dogs to stop all the time. lickity sticks are like the perfect alternative lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
