We have a new 2 yr old Berner named Bear. We have him on Blue Large Breed and he is eating pretty well after a few days transition to our house (just got him last Wed). I feed him about 1.5 cups in the am and 2.5 at night and that seems to be enough.

As a transition I gave him a little american cheese mixed in his food (he wasn't eating at all the first few days) and am weaning him off (1/2 slice now).

He is slightly interested in people food and I'd like to give him healthy nutritious stuff - can you help with a list of acceptable items? I tried cauliflower last night and that was a no go. LOL

Carrots? Fruits? Anything to avoid? I've read mentions of yogurt - what kind and how much?

I don't mind backing off his food a bit to incorporate some more healthy items.

He has been very well trained both on/off the leash but I can tell he's used to treats then too (he backs off while walking and checks my hand for a treat). After he's totally adjusted to us in the next few weeks, I'd like to reinforce his "heel" and other training. Does anyone have recommendation for treats while training?

Thanks in advance!
