    Good to hear your opinion on Possyum, Ruff. I have just discovered it and use it for my high value rewards (cut into 5mm cubes kinda thing). It's a not the full diet for my guy but he would get a fair bit of it each day as well as meals (dry 'working dog' can't remember the brand, I buy a shiteload at a time, as well as Golden Boy "endurance" and raw lamb bones that I think are 'sposed to be for stewing/soups). You reckon it's pretty lean stuff? My dude is pretty light eh. I use bread as a low-value reward and that seems to help keeping some weight on him.
    Save yourself a fortune and stop training with food, it's cheaper, you get a better result, and are actually training instead of bribing.
