Prepping tripe in all its glorious textures and distinctive scents is what I show you in this video. How do I prepare, or cut lamb tripe sticks, into manageable pieces to use for puppy and dog training at Love Wags A Tail board-and-train? It’s right here. Follow along and you can do it at home, too. I use a ton of tripe. Mind you, the lamb tripe is smaller, narrower, so easier to cut. If you delve into beef tripe, {Read More}
Food Rewards From The Trainer and The Sky
July 13, 2019 by
When you are working on eliciting a certain behavior from your dog, you’ll want to reward it around the clock. For example, the dog who jumps up for attention.
