Anyone with a dog has most likely experienced getting their fingers skinned while giving their dog a treat. So what should you do about it? Well for starters, watch your energy level and tone of voice while offering the treat. If you promote that you are offering something tasty with a high pitched, sing-song voice and crazy, over-the-top energy, you're sure to increase your dog's excitement while encouraging him to get the treat as quickly (and yes, sometimes as brutally) as possible.

Anyone that knows me knows that my dogs eat about as well as a dog can eat. Their vegetation is organic and their meat is clean (free of antibiotics, hormones, etc.). I feed them what is commonly known as the BARF diet, or bones and raw food. In a nutshell, my dogs are never sick, never have fleas and they have very balanced energy.

Stewart Brand made the statement, "On the one hand information wants to be expensive, because it's so valuable. The right information in the right place just changes your life. On the other hand, information wants to be free, because the cost of getting it out is getting lower and lower all the time."

Be it vitamins, herbs or medication, the time will come to give your dog a pill. Believe me, it can be tricky. Some have tried wrapping a piece of meat around the pill or stuffing it into a bite of hot dog before feeding it to their dog. What they find is their dog hijacks the treat and spits out the pill. Clever dog! What you need is a tasty all-or-nothing option. For me and my dogs, I use peanut butter.
