Re: dog jumping when in treadmill

[Guest guest]

,

We have had great luck using a frozen cup of peanut butter or even canned dog

food.

If it is frozen they have to lick it constantly to get any pay off and it seems

to keep the attention away from jumping etc.

Hope that helps.

Good luck!

How much peanut butter are you freezing to create this "cup"? I really like this idea but so many of my patients cannot handle to many extra calories.....Niki To: VetRehab Sent: Saturday, April 28, 2012 10:12 AM Subject: Re: dog jumping

You can also use frozen broth or baby food or a mixture of both. I use them in my practice and the dogs love it! My vet uses the frozen cup for acupuncture etc and my animals can't wait to get into the vet's office!

I have a couple dogs who have trouble focusing! If they routinely wear a gentle

leader harness when walking on a leash with the owner, this helps them focus in

the water. I'm not sure it would benefit a dog who has never used one before -

it might be more of a distraction than anything.

We will also use Easy Cheese (Cheese in a Can - I know, kinda gross) - but

smearing some on the door in front of the dog keeps them focused on licking the

door and keeps them from jumping!

Good luck

We use the frozen PB cup frequently also. You just line the bottom and sides

with the PB so they can get their tongue and nose into the cup (a small coffee

cup). It doesn't end up to be many calories (depending on the size of the

patient), but leads to alot of distraction time and entertainment.
