Anyone use turkey dogs instead of hot dogs? How do you cut them up? How many do you go through in a session? Does everyone cook them in advance? Thank you in advance.

Turkey dogs are great.
No need to cook them (they're cooked already - even if they weren't that would be a good thing ).
Cut them up in nickel thickness or so, then cut those rounds again into fourths or so.
I personally wouldn't give more than the equivalent of half a hot dog per session. If you cut them up as above, you'll have plenty to last you for a few minutes. Turkey dogs have less calories than beef dogs so you can go to a whole dog if you need to. Still I think that's quite a bit.
As with any treats given in amounts as needed for training sessions, watch the dog's weight; you may need to cut back a little on regular food.

I use turkey dogs too. I cut them lengthwise and then across into pieces about the size of a pea. Once they are cut up, I microwave the pieces between paper towels to dry them out a bit. With pieces this size I find them easy to hold in my mouth, big enough to interest the dog, and not too much is actually consumed.
