How long do these last for training a large dog?

The pieces are pretty big, however they break easily, so you can break them into the size you like for rewarding. The bag is a pretty big bag. By the way, both my dogs LOVE these treats!

It's a large full bag of treats. I break them into smaller pieces and stick them in my pocket. They are not greasy which is nice.

Used sparingly, for some weeks. Dogs really respond to the natural flavor so the 'impact' is greater than with ordinary treats.

They would easily last for several weeks. It's a good size bag and is pretty full. The treats are large, but are scored to easily break into smaller pieces. I have 2 Chihuahuas and a cat. My 4lb Chihuahua doesn't like them, but my 7 lb one absolutely loves them and I have to break one into tiny pieces for my cat or she tries to tear into the bag. They are very crunchy and not greasy. A bag will last a couple months at my house.

These Liver Treats, as well as our Beef, Chicken, and Turkey Jerky Treats can be broken into small pieces and used for training. The Jerky Treats might be better suited for training. They can be cut with scissors into small bite-size pieces, perfect for training. However, many people also like the Liver Treats for training.I'm not sure how long they will last. There is a full pound of treats in each bag so it will depend on how big the reward pieces are and how many are given. Please let me know how it goes.PaulCo-FounderRocco & Roxie Supply Co.

If you break them into little pieces, they last a long time - weeks, anyway.My big Labs love them and as soon as they see the bag they instantly sit or 'down ' . My Pekingese cannot chew them so she gets softer things for treats and training.

We did not use them for training so unfortunately I cannot answer. However, I will tell you that our dogs are now turning their noses up at treats we had on hand. They love them...

I use these collars for my 11lb and 15lb dogs. I have rubber tips on the metal 'prongs' because they are a little too harsh for smaller dogs. I use the vibrate mode mostly, very seldom use the shock. These have been good collars except for the fact that sometimes they don't go off when you push the button. It's a bit difficult to train when your training device doesn't work EVERY time you need it too. But, since I know that this is the case I just check the vibrate right before I put them on them (before I let them out into the yard) and if it doesn't go off when I push the button I just turn off the remote and turn it back on,, this usually works. One thing I will say is they hold a charge for a LONG time! This is a definite positive because I've used a few different types of collars,, i.e. battery, rechargeable etc. and these have been the best at longevity. Hope this helps

The durability sucks. My 85 pound retriever mix wore them once and pierced them with his nails. I'll give them their due, they stay on the dog. But tightly.I switched to booties that use Velcro to stay on and have a rugged set for my other dog and a durable set for the aforementioned dog. These work great and you can find them also on Amazon.com. The company is debnroo. Good luck!

They are not permanent. They stay on for about 2 weeks for our very active dog, so we've never run into that problem.

Half an hour for my dog too. The larger ones have lasted for weeks without puncture.

I have never sat down and counted them but I have 2 dogs, give them each one a day and I believe it last about 4 months!

You will NOT be able to break these. I order the large ones for my Labradoodle - it takes her a good 2 to 3 months to get this chewed down to the point that I took it away from her. She LOVES these.

It should be fine. Our Lab puppies love them. It's about five inches long. Our Lab puppy is seven months old and it's still in good shape. They like the texture of it.

Good question. To be honest they are quite large, but they do vary alot in thickness.....some are really thick and take ages to chew others are much thinner and take less time. Also depends how your dogs work on them....I have one that is slower on the thin ones as you expect, but my other takes more time over the thinner ones....

Most people report that the batteries last 30-45 days, which should be a sufficient time to train your dog.

I have no idea.....I know that these are not good for a puppy because they tend to chock on the product.....once over 5 months old I used them for training my Norwich and they worked excellent!! Since I have bought 8 bags of these there has been no ill effects!!

I've read that it's never to late to train a dog a new trick. We trained our dog (of course whe was a puppy then) by encouraging her to use the pads with lots of praise and a small treat after she did it correctly. Like any trick, you need to work on training several times a day every day until your dog gets it. And keep the treats tiny or the dog could get too many treats. Our dog uses the pads 98 percent of the time.

It really depends on the dog. We have a young terrier/lab mix and she can go thru these in mere weeks. Our older lab...lasts twice as long. Best price though...won't find size and price at local pet store and no smell.

We do not have a version for smaller dogs. However, we purposely added a score (line on supplement making it very easy to break in half) so owners of smaller dogs could also use our product. The recommended dosage for a large dog is 2 supplements a day during the initial 4 to 6 weeks and then 1 supplement a day for maintenance. Therefore, the recommended dosage for a smaller dog is 1 supplement a day for 4 to 6 weeks and then 1/2 a supplement a day for maintenance. All of this information is referenced on our label. Great question. Thanks for asking. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

This would last a large dog the better part of a day. This lasts my chihuahua/min pin about 4 days. It depends really on your dogs habbits.

I have an 85# golden retriever 'pup' 8 months old, and the collar slowed him down the first few times, but his coat is so thick, he doesn't care about the points on the collar. I am considering a shock collar instead to try to get some control-I have had several large dogs before and not had a problem being the leader- each dog is different I guess. I also am hoping when he is neutered it will help too. You may need something more powerful to master your dog before he gets any bigger-at 13 weeks he should not be aggressive-your best answers may be in talking to your vet for recommendations in training. The DVD's with this system (I have found) are unrealistic in the results you can get from this collar.

It depends on how hard headed your dog is to train. I have Irish Setters, but once they get the initial correction, they are very good about continual action w/ the boundary line. I have a five month old puppy that we have recently trained with the Pet Safe system. He is still using the same battery, been about three months. He does not leave the yard. I also have a bark collar w/ this battery for my older dog and the battery seems to last along time in it. But, he is also very aware when he has the bark collar on his neck.
