Em, if you read the more recent posts, John has started to listen to our advice and is changing the way he treats his pup. I think you are a bit late with your post. :)

If you read the thread properly, then you will see John didn't want to give the dog treats as he has a sensitive stomach.  Tiny pieces of frankfurter were mentioned too.
