You are buying frozen dog treats for your dogs in the ice cream isle. I couldn’t f-ing believe my eyes when I saw this. Would have been a SNL skit 20 years ago, now no matter how stupid, it exists some where for sale. I present:

I thought this is what life is about !
I’ve been buying Peanut Butter Frosty Paws for my Dobermans for decades, they love them.
I’m strictly rewarding my warriors, a little R&R for them.
And they kind of get depressed when I don’t have FP’s for them.
I will admit to being somewhat behind the curve I won’t buy the ‘Bites’ and won’t ever try the Yoghund.
In a really nice area of West Little Rock there is a Gourmet Dog Food store in this new shopping plaza. My wife got to it before i could comment and blurted out “thats the dumbest fucking thing i have ever seen”!
Not sure about the ones in the OP, but a friend of mine has a family owned grocery store and they stock some yuppy dog food that costs more per pound than just buying the dog a porterhouse steak from their meat counter.:eek:
He says they sell it so fast they can hardly keep it on the shelves.
Me; I think it’s stupid, but I applaud the manufacturers for their marketing skills. My dogs would be eating a porterhouse before dry food if steak was less expensive than dry food.
Parents had a lab that they had spoiled by putting chicken broth on her dry dog food. Not being dumb, the dog would bark at regular dog food after that. I was visiting and the dog barked at its dry dog food, so I got down on all fours and pretended to start to eat the dry dog food. This puzzled the lab who came over to investigate, so I shoved her away and growled a bit at her. Pushed her away a few more times and then walked away (on two legs) and she went over and finished the bowl and never complained again about dry dog food.
I had to do the same thing to my Catahoula! My mom would put gravy on her food every now and then and it got to the point where she would bark her ass off if she didnt get it.
Well she was very aggressive when any of our other dogs or small kids would come close to her food bowl so i tried to fix the problem by going over and blocking her from her food.
She would growl and show her teeth at me but would never bite me. I would give her a few pieces of food and act like i was taking her bowl away and then give it back to her. Food was gone in minutes and no gravy.
She was my first dog and i didnt do a good job with training her. I know that some of her behavior problems were my fault.
Teaching dogs to do things by actually doing them is a well known and successful method of teaching them. I do this with my dogs all the time. The only time I ever got any negative feedback was when my neighbor caught me shitting in their lawn instead of mine.
