Pedigree's smackos are good because you can tear them into tiny tiny bits- but if you use them, make sure you give it in TINY little quantities- unless your pup is like mine and has the digestion of a bin van. Or you could get the puppy treats, but they're not usually made for tiny Cav puppies. I found that at ten weeks Natures's Menu treats went down great with Amber. The treats are good, natural treats with a very high percentage of meat, and they're small to begin with, but for training I chopped them into four even tinier bits. Worked well.

I would boil a chicken breast and cut it up into tiny pieces. Or tiny bits of low fat string cheese. 8 weeks is very young for training. Have fun! :flwr:Natalie said:Does anyone know any healthy treats that i can give lady for training. I know you can feed veg and fruit but do i have to wait till she's a little older she's 8 weeks at moment and do i need to cook veg for her to eat or is it better to give it raw.?

I know the ones you mean. They gave my pair the most horrendous gas!
And Kirsty, your dogs must have better tummies than mine- I had to feed Bakers for a couple of weeks there as a stopgap until I could get more lovely Wainwrights. Both pups' poo turned to sludge- but they looooove those big meaty chunks so I chopped them up and put them in a separate box as sweeties. Back on Wainwright's now- £19 for 15 kg!!- and all poo is nice and hard and dry, oh joy.
Sorry for the detour! :roll:
