Fish trainers for dogs: smart rewards with pure fish
,
by Robin van Leeuwen
Anyone who trains their dog knows one thing for sure: rewarding works. But if you reward your dog several times a day, you want that reward to be a conscious choice. Not too big, not too heavy and preferably as pure as possible. Fish trainers fit in perfectly with this. At Petfactor you will find various fish trainers, such as small ones cod chunks, salmon skin trainers andcod skin trainers.In this blog we explain what fish trainers are, why they are so useful and when they are considered hypoallergenic.
What exactly are fishing trainers?
Fish trainers are small reward snacks based on fish. They are specially intended for training moments, walks or quick rewards in between. Because of their size you can give them easily and often, without giving your dog too much.
There are two variants at Petfactor:
The cod fishing trainer: a small compact chunk of 100% cod
The salmon skin and cod skin trainers: thin, crispy pieces of dried skin.
What they have in common is that they are all light snacks that are purely dried and consist of one ingredient: fish. Nothing more, nothing less. With fishing trainers you can be sure you're giving your dog a snack without the added mess.
Why fish trainers during training?
A good reward should be gone quickly so that your dog keeps his attention on you, but of course it must be interesting enough. Vis scores high on both points. The smell and taste of fish immediately appeal to many dogs. And because fish trainers are a small light snack, you can reward more often without it becoming too much. Ideal for puppy training, new exercises or long walks where you want to reward regularly.
And are these fish snacks also hypoallergenic?
These trainers can be considered hypoallergenic because the snack consists of one animal protein and no other ingredients have been added. However, there are dogs with a fish allergy or dogs that do not respond well to animal proteins at all. In that case, it's better to opt for one plant-based training snack. But in general, fish such as cod and salmon are well tolerated by many dogs. With the exception of a fish allergy, fish trainers are therefore a suitable hypoallergenic snack for dogs with food sensitivities. As with any snack, introduce new snacks slowly and watch carefully to see how your dog reacts.
Which dogs are fish trainers suitable for?
Fish trainers are suitable for almost all breeds and ages. For puppies under 3 months old, we recommend giving extra soft snacks.
Fish trainers are particularly suitable for:
Puppies that are fully learning
Adult dogs during training or walks
Dogs with a sensitive stomach
Owners who want to reward consciously
