My answer is Never, but I really need to change that habit! She deserves a reward once in a while

I have treats everywhere, pockets, bureau, counters, cars. I cant tell you how many treats have gone thru the washer & dryer!

I voted 'always' because I always have horse treats in my pockets and Penny loves them.

I didn't have anything, though, the time she took off after a herd of deer. I said Penny! No! at which point she slammed on the brakes. I said COME and SHE DID! I wished I'd had a whole hot dog in my pocket for that one. It was dark out and I spent the entire night waking up in a sweat because she could have kept going and gotten lost in the swampy woods.

Now I always have some apple/oat/carrot treats. She also loves the peppermint treats.
