I tried several treats (I have a very non-food motivated dog who could care less about treats) but she goes nuts over the UltraCruz® Canine Turkey and Cheddar Training Treats! She will do tricks like crazy! Will definitely purchase more, as we are training for agility!

I have four dogs and I just happened to get these UltraCruz® Treats as an add-on with an order I had for some supplements. My dogs LOVED them! I have one that is super picky and she will literally do anything to get one of these treats. I love that they are soft and can easily be broken in half if needed to make them smaller. These work great for training and because they are soft, my senior dog who has trouble chewing, can enjoy these treats too! These get four paws up from my gang!

The dogs are on their best behavior for the UltraCruz® Canine Turkey and Cheese Training Treats. I have to watch the cat because I caught her trying to break open the bag too!

Obedience training with the UltraCruz® Training Treats has been a breeze. My dogs go nuts for all the flavors. They are attentive, eager, and respond well to training when using these treats. I would recommend them to anyone training a dog. They’re awesome!

Matt


My German Shepherd (he is very picky) and Red Heeler really like these yummy UltraCruz® Training Treats. I like them because they are small enough that I can give them 2 and not feel like I’m over feeding.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great to use for hiding medicine in! One of my dogs has allergies and requires a small pill daily, prescribed by my vet. Prior to finding these treats, I used to always have to try to coat the pill in peanutbutter to get my dog to take it and sometimes that didn't even work. These treats are super soft, can easily be broke apart and then easily molded back together. This makes them perfect for hiding small pills/medicine in that your dog needs to take that need to be disguised to get your dog to take them. My dogs have tried all of the flavors of these treats and each one is a BIG hit! Highly Recommend!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Delicious! I only purchased these to get free shipping, but will be purchasing a case with my next order. My 3 dogs absolutely love them! Although, the middle dog was a little suspicious of the texture at first and took 5 minutes to nibble at one. Now she devours them in one bite!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Handy and fun My 73-pound German Shepherd puppy will do anything for one of these, which look like cubes of gelatinized gravy. They are what our training coach calls a "high value treat" -- that thing they love most that you pull out when you want to show your dog the very best reward. These have been a great solace for enduring "scary" new things well, like nail clipping and bathing. Giving Gilby a few treats while he had his first bath kept him calm and reassured him that the bathtub can be a good place.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Pumpkin UltraCruz Training Treats - my dogs love! I bought these as an Add-on to my horse order. When I opened the bag they smelled like they had a little spice to them, so I was concerned my dogs wouldn't like them. No worries! My dogs LOVE the pumpkin ones! I'm trying more flavors on my next order! And the treats are a good size -usually training treats are so small and I have medium to large ACD's that it seems like why bother. But these are regular treat size! They get one each halfway through our walk!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Chicken flavor is a hit! I really love these canine training treats for my terriers. They are the perfect size and I really love that they are moist and soft and easily chewable for my senior dogs! We had been ordering the pumpkin flavored ones (which they loved!) but I decided to give the chicken flavor a try with my last order and all of my dogs are going bonkers for these treats! I literally had to hide them in the cabinet because if they were in eye view, all of my dogs would just stare at them and cry for more! These treats are also the perfect size and consistency for hiding small pills with. One of my dogs is on an allergy medication twice daily, and I simply break these treats in half, push his pill into one side, and then smush both sides back together. Works perfectly and he gobbles down his treat and his medicine with no fuss or hassle!

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Not Good For Small Dogs I bought this for my 4 yr old Maltepoo. The pieces were too big for her so I cut them into four. I worked on her obedience training and gave her a piece to reward her after each achievement. However, she would sniff the treat and let it fall on the floor, later stepping on it and squashing it. She would not eat a single piece. I would not recommend these for small dogs or finicky eaters.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Canine Training Treats are very convincing :) I received these a month ago and have used them with great success coaching my canines in their obedience training journey! They also make life easier successfully delivering "untasty" medications, as you can press tablets down into the treats to mask their taste. Worked like a charm every single time! No funny smells. Always tender. Perfect size. I will never switch to any other treat!
