Himalayan Pet Supply Click-n-lix Runaway Frank Treat Refill

I work at a doggie day care so trying new treats and tricks is fun for me. I think this product would be great for someone who hates to carry treats in their pockets or doesn't want to use a treat bag as my staff do. It can hang around your neck and you can pull it out for rewarding good behavior. My dogs liked the run away frank flavor. Cute name. I tried making something like this out of camping tooth paste tubes. This is much easier than my blending then stuffing the tube. Try it. It's fun to mix it up in your training. Just remember. THOUSANDS of studies every year PROVE conclusively that reward based training lasts longer (less need for retraining later), creates a safer dog and causes less future problems that Cesar style or punishment based training. Get with the science and start rewarding!! Punishment and confrontation make good TV but its just TV for goodness sake.

once you get the dogs to lick it instead of trying to bite it, it seems to do the job just fine. I just walk with it in my hand with the cap off. it can get mushy, but I dont really twist the product out (its not like chapstick) so the doggies can' get a bite out of it. If you held 4 thick dry erase markers together, thats about the thickness and height of it (the pictures had no scale so I didn't know how 'big' it was) but will likely have lots of licks with it. My advice is to simply stick it in the fridge until you are ready to use it, as it does tend to start getting 'soft' then put it back when you are done training fido.

I really like the concept of this treat. I'm doing rehab with my dog, and thought this would be a handy way to get him to hold specific stretch positions without having to keep shoveling out treats. It was successful for this, but after only one session of use (no more than 10-20 licks) he had diarrhea. He almost never has an upset stomach and this is the only change in his food/treats within the past few weeks, so it seems highly likely this was the culprit.

Good idea. I feel bad giving my dog treats all the time. I feel like I am setting him up for diabetes when I give him food at times other than at his feeding time. This made me feel a bit better about it...I do wish the lid was a screw on lid.The reason why I would buy this again is that it is handy to have when you don't want to handle a bunch of dog treats. Sometimes I don't want to handle the treats, so this stick is a quick grab and go.

These came highly recommended by a coworker. My dog loves it. I am using it for training on walks in the cold. We live where it gets really cold. You need warm mittens on outside. On our quick, brisk walks- I wanted to be able to reward the pup for walking nicely and “leave it”. This is great for that. So easy to carry with the string and pop the cap off. All while keeping my hands warmly in my mitts. Pup seems to love it, but she’s not picky.

I have a lab that is fairly food motivated (probably 50/50 food versus toys), and this was the first thing I've offered him that he could care less about (I tried several flavors with him). Such a bummer, because I'd love to have clean hands sometimes :) if you have a VERY food motivated pup, I suspect you'll have better luck than I did. If you don't, caution. There are cheaper lessy-messy dog treats out there.

My dogs love treats, and this is their favorite. I am using it to teach them not to rush visitors at the front door. (I wasn't sure that they were trainable, but this proves otherwise.) To help them learn to lick instead of trying to take a bite, I hold the stick slightly above, and they will lick up. Also, in an attempt to make it last a bit longer, I keep it in the refrigerator so that it is not quite so soft. I think that it is a bit pricy considering its brevity, but I'm ordering another because of its effectiveness.

This is a very convenient treat to have on hand if you don't want to carry messy treats in a pouch or your pocket, but for my dogs at least, it's no substitute for a high value reward. Don't expect to train any new behaviors with this one, but if you're just reinforcing old tricks, it will probably satisfy your less finicky pups! Just be prepared for some of them to try to take a bite instead of licking.It DOES last forever, too! I've been using it on and off for months now, and I can't tell that any of it is gone. That's a big plus!
