Rewards for the crate, the ring and the trial
Last updated
Beef heart snaps into smaller pieces for fast rewards, and it stays dry rather than greasy in a pouch. Our own scorecard gives it 5 of 5 for training value. These guides put it to work: rewards at the crate door, trial day packing for dog sports, which runs a lot like a pit crew's checklist, ring pieces for show weekends, scent work and find it games at home, and holding a dog's attention behind the camera. Start with beef heart for crate training or show bait.
