Turning shellfish and frog legs into rewards
Last updated
Most trainers want a small, quick reward, and most of our exotic bags arrive as whole pieces. These guides cover the work in between: snapping a frog leg into several rewards, getting more than one bite out of a mussel or a shrimp, and handling octopus, which has a strong smell and uneven pieces. Scallops run small, so they need the least work. Quail eggs are the odd one out, since a whole egg crumbles rather than snaps. Start with frog legs for dog training or the scallops bag.
