| 0:00.0 | Let's talk about all the rewards that I might use and that you could use. |
| 0:10.7 | I mean, I'm not, there's probably a quadrillion different pieces of food that you could choose to use. |
| 0:17.0 | But let's just group them into general categories. So, there's fruits and vegetables. |
| 0:21.9 | So, I might use cut up pieces of carrot or blueberries, possibly freeze-dried, possibly fresh. |
| 0:29.5 | I have used frozen blueberries as well. There's other fruits and vegetables like maybe green |
| 0:34.0 | beans, it depends what I have on hand or apples. Now, I will rarely train my |

| 1:20.8 | freeze dry or so we freeze dry any kind of meat. So, there's freeze dried, there's dehydrated, |
| 1:24.5 | there's cooked meats, which we commonly will use. And then there's |
| 1:29.0 | fresh or raw meats, which I rarely use, but I have used on occasion raw stewing beef. You have |
| 1:36.2 | to be careful, hygiene, washing hands, washing all the surfaces, you know what I mean. |
| 1:41.1 | So, those are the typical presentations of the meats. So, also, |
