Our heeler/chihuahua just passed the one year mark and Ive spent the better part of the 9 months as her dad trying damn near every decent treat on the market and weve finally settled on a selection of about 10 treats, all different types, that are healthy (so that we dont feel as if were taking years off her life when we give her a reward), that she never bores of and will always accept, and many that can be used for specific purpose since she has a strong food drive.We use the wonderful Train-me treats for most repetitive behavior training, Greenies for mouth health, narrow rawhide free sticks wrapped in jerky for light chewing, Himalayan cheese sticks for heavy chewing, etc, etc. We even have a specific natural biscuit that sends her straight to her crate as soon as she sees us going for the jar.But the nudges chicken pot pie biscuits are her special occasion treats, broken out when shes done something especially good, when we need to incentivize a particularly difficult behavior change (like finally accepting that the gardener is not here to kill us and does not require constant vocalizing for the duration of his biweekly visits).I cannot say that their rather strong smell reminds me of pot pie particularly but that doesnt seem to matter to her and the pungency is actually quite a perk given that her super sniffer detects it within seconds from a block away and immediately diverts her from whatever shes doing that wed like to interrupt (many a squirrel in our neighborhood owes its life to these treats) so I dont consider it a con but I suppose it should be noted.For some reason there was a recent dramatic (but thankfully temporary) jump in price that accompanied a shortage of these treats not only here on Amazon but also at my local grocers. Thankfully I had recently taken advantage of a recent sale and had stocked up, putting four bags in storage. They have a very long shelf life so dont hesitate to take advantage of a good price.Weve tried other Nudges products and all were very good but she came to prefer similar products from other brands in the end. But there is no comparable product from any manufacturer that Ive found to match these. They are unique in all the best ways.I should also add that if youd like to break them up to use as smaller treats for any reason, they are quite soft and moist and thus very easy to separate and you could easily get a dozen small training treats from a single biscuit.Needless to say, I cant recommend these enough. Dont waste your time on a small bag.
