Yummy: Leanlix Naturals Are A Favorite Dog Training Treat

4/29/2014

AUTUMN 2014 UPDATE: Leanlix Naturals mold danger: The Cascadian Nomads no longer purchase this dog treat product ourselves and do not recommend using it or suggest using it with extreme caution. We had to throw away two containers of Leanlix Naturals after the products began to grow mold. We have no idea what kind of mold the treat was growing or if it was dangerous to the dogs but even an attempt to remove the moldy top and use the rest of the treat failed as the mold continued to grow.
Typist: Bethany
You'll be surprised to learn that finding training treats all three of my dogs like is quite difficult. Wait. Finding training treats that not just Wilhelm likes and will work hard for isn't easy. I learned about Leanlix a few years ago at the Seattle Kennel Club Dog Show. I was really excited about the product. Leanlix is such a great idea, low calories and it is local. But I was not excited about the ingredients. I don't eat anything hydrogenated so I won't feed anything hydrogenated to my pets. Upon a visit to my favorite neighborhood pet store, Pet Elements, I saw that not only had they started carrying Leanlix but there was now a Leanlix Naturals line. Instead of hydrogenated glucose syrup as the first ingredient, the new Leanlix Naturals flavors has brown rice syrup as the first ingredient. Still not a super healthy main ingredient but better than hydrogenated glucose and, hey, it's a treat!
Picture
The very best part is that Wilhelm, Brychwyn and Huxley all like the Leanlix Naturals Grass Fed Beef flavor. And I mean they really like it! All three dogs recalls on our recent trip to First Beach were impeccable. Random sits while we are out and about lately have been super speedy. Before where there was a bit of "I might do what you are asking depending on what's in the bait bag" delay in our training, there is now enthusiasm and excitement. Brychwyn has even gotten so that he will do his leash reactivity preventing "with me" just from hearing the Leanlix lid "pop" open.
Picture
Speaking of the lid, I took the first Leanlix Naturals I purchased everywhere for the entire week and a half it lasted. It swung from my hands-free leash belt for miles and miles in sunshine and in rain. It fell on the sidewalk, It fell in the sand. Wilhelm and Brychwyn both had a chance to get a hold of it and take it to their beds like a chew. But did the Leanlix container crack or break throughout any of this real life abuse? No! The lid still pooped on and off tightly until the last lick was had. My only complaint is that the paper sticker around the tube disintegrated. I suppose most people don't walk in as much rain as Wilhelm, Brychwyn, Huxley and I do. Anyways, I solved this problem by wrapping clear packing tape around the new tubes I bought. I wanted to use clear tape so that the every five minutes people ask me what it is I am giving to the dogs, I can show them theLeanlix label.

These photos would normally have been product review outtakes but I just couldn't help posting them.
Is it obvious that Leanlix Naturals are pretty popular around here?

Leanlix Naturals has fast become my favorite training treat and an essential training tool. Do you have any training tools that you just can't train without? Then please join Dachshund Nola, Tenacious Little Terrier and us next Monday, May 5th, for first Monday's Positive Pet Training Blog Hop. The theme is favorite training tools!

Wilhelm: The Most Wonderful Weiner Dog

PictureEleven week old Romeo's Simple Twist Of Fate "Wilhelm."
Typist: Bethany
While talking with a friend on the phone in early October 2007, I told her Jason and I had gotten a dachshund puppy.  "So you got a weiner dog?" she asked. "Yes, a long haired dachshund," I replied. "Seriously?" my friend queried, "you got a weiner dog? Like a hot dog dog?" I tried to talk to her about the breeds hunting and sporting history but there was no getting through the chortling that was growing into heaving laughter. In my friends defense, she is a sworn eternal Labrador and golden retriever owner and enthusiast. And, well, weiner dogs are really, really funny.

Wilhelm's fast moving, short legs make me smile everyday. His bark that is too big for his body is cartoon like in the way that he literally levitates all four paws off the floor when exuding his powerful voice. Then there's the burrowing: Wilhelm will dig his way under and through comforters, blankets, sheets pillows, pillow cases not to mention tall grass, shrubbery and hedges. And those giant floppy dachshund ears... we affectionately called Wilhelm "Dumbo" when he was a puppy. Although he grew into the elephant ears that I was certain he would use to fly when he was smaller, Wilhelm's ears are still so fun and expressive.

Picture
Wilhelm Von Dachshund's serious, er, I mean curious face.
When giggling about adorable little Wilhelm, I think the best part is the irony of that hilarity. Almost everything Wilhelm does is amusing but he takes it all so seriously. If he is speeding those little legs with ease through anything a dog four times his size can do, barking louder than a German shepherd, winning an epic long tug-of-war, borrowing into a hedge on the trail of something or digging into a pillow to make a perfect circle for a nap, he does it all with such stern determination. Wilhelm isn't all work and no play, but even play is serious business. The thing our wonderful wee weiner dog Wilhelm takes most seriously of all is love. I am in awe everyday of how much empathy and affection that one tiny dog can pack into his fuzzy little body.
