I use treats when walking my friends 2 pitbull mixes, to reward certain behaviors, bribe them to turn around when needed, and sometimes just because they asked for a treat. I normally use freeze dried beef liver but I decided to try this, for variety. Never again lol, they were very distracted from their walk and became focused on trying to get these treats from me. These would be great for trick training or some other application where you need a high value treat.
