| Squooshi tube and Train & Treat |
Winter is here - along with freezing, chapped hands from giving your dog treats outside. There are solutions!
Here are some suggestions for keeping your hands warm and your dog happy! I don't get any kind of kickback or commission for recommending these products.
1. REFILLABLE SQUEEZE TUBES
Refillable squeeze tubes are made for baby food, but they are great for filling with treats your dog would love too. Mash up some canned dog food with water to thin it out, put it in the tube, and keep your gloves on when you reward your dog.

2. PRE-FILLED SQUEEZE TUBES
When I was researching for this post, I found several options for squeeze tubes that are already filled with tasty treats for dogs. You can also find baby food pouches in any grocery store pre-filled with soft food. Be sure to introduce these to your dog before using them as a reward - some dogs may not like being surprised by a food tube.

3. TREAT DISPENSER

This gadget is fairly easy to use while wearing gloves. I bought this several years ago because as my elderly terriers' vision deteriorated, they started to bite my fingers when taking treats. Here's how it works - place a piece of string cheese or hotdog in the bottom, secure it with the spring holder, then press the button to eject a small slice of cheese/hotdog. It's more expensive than the other options. Dash and Josie are happy to demonstrate it for you here:
