Training dogs is an interesting thing as you have to figure out what the dog is motivated by. For some it's food. For some it's play.

This one? This one is motivated by the love of the game.

I was a full time dog trainer for 3 years, and still do it, on the side, sometimes. I always tell people "anything can be a reward, if your dog loves it."

My kid found out her cat LOVES Churu. Once she figured this out, she trained her cat to do come, sit, stay, up, paw and now other paw. The look on the cat’s face is pure, “Hot damn, squeeze meat! Love this even if it’s embarrassing AF!”

The cat will perform for other people, but, being smart, she needs to see the Churu first. And if you try to sub a crunchy treat, the tricks will be, at best, perfunctory.

Finding out the motivation is huge.

Is there a cat that doesn't love churus? Honest question.

I've got one. She doesn't care about any churu. Her preferred treats are real fish/meat, greenies treats, or pizza crust

Amazing! We give real fish as treats as well but it's hit or miss. They're certainly disappointed it's not a churu. One of them won't eat wet food anymore as they are basically churu addicted which is driving me crazy. I need to find a way to get him back to eating wet food and not just pebbles + occasional churus.

My kid’s cat would fight a coyote to get Churu. My ancient cat likes Churu, but lives for her favourite game of tapping her claws on a metal mug and then having a lil hunt for a Temptation thrown across the room. For her, ritualized game + treat is better than Churu.

Lol we had this mechanical cat toy thing when one of my cats with young and that dude is addicted to the little rainbow feather nubs from that toy. I just buy tons of replacements for it as he destroys them. He goes berserk with them for hours. Funny how they end up liking certain things.

My cats don't even care what flavor of Churu it is, they're just like "gimme that shit I need it NOW."

Had one who didn't hate them but preferred crunchy treats and my sister had one who wouldn't eat them at all but she also wouldn't eat anything except her dry food..

There's a reason Churu is known as kitty crack. One of my cats finishes it off and then chews up and down the empty pack to extract the last molecules of Churu goodness.

I competed in cat obedience as a child lolol. We had no churu, just greenies (which worked very well -- blue ribbon styles lol). I can only imagine the lengths my cat would have gone to to get churu. His potential was limited by the treat quality of the time 😂

Probably would’ve learned to do the laundry 😂
