Case Study
Yellow dog paw print
Meet Nayla…

Nayla wasn’t motivated by play. In fact, Nayla wasn’t motivated by anything — except treats (and lots of them).

Nayla's owner Chelsea bought the Clam to help with her training - and it was an instant hit.

Chelsea used the Clam as a versatile, high-value reward during training and to teach Nayla to retrieve. She’s also used it to set up enriching scent-based games for Nayla that have helped build her confidence.

The Clam is great for Nayla as she is very food orientated! It’s been a game changer for increasing her desire to play, giving her mental stimulation and even improving her recall with retrieve.

We used our decades of training experience to create the Clam so that dog owners had a way to reward their dog instantly - even from a distance. It started as a tool for agility, but it’s grown into a bit of a phenomenon in the dog world, with owners using it for everything from scent games to trick training!

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the Clam help my dog learn to play with other toys?

Every dog is different but yes, we’ve heard from lots of customers about how the Clam has been a ‘gateway’ toy into playing with other interactive training toys.

Why is the Clam better than other treat-based toys?

The Clam is the original and the best! It’s designed by training experts and manufactured to our extremely high standards using top quality materials. The Clam is a quality, effective training aid for dogs - which is verified by its hundreds of five star reviews.

Is it supposed to be easy for my dog to open the Clam?

Yes! The Clam is cleverly designed so that it stays shut when you throw it, but so that it’s easy for your dog to use their snout to open the ‘shells’ of the Clam and get the treats within.            

What happens if I try the Clam but don’t like it?

The Clam is covered by our 45-day Guarantee. That means you can return the Clam for any reason within 45 days and get a no quibble exchange. This is in addition to our standard returns policy.

What should I use to fill the Clam?

Great question! You can use your dog’s favourite treats to fill the Clam. Dried treats are less messy and smelly treats (like dried sprats) can work well for scentwork games using the Clam —but any treats your dog enjoys will work.

How do I use the Clam?

The Clam is simple to use: simply fill it, throw it and get results. It can sometimes take a little bit of training to get your dog used to using the Clam, which is why we include a free booklet with every order, containing full instructions and tips to get you started.

I have a large breed dog - is the Clam suitable?

Yes! The Clam has been tried and tested with breeds of all sizes.

I have a small breed dog - is the Clam suitable?

Yes! The Clam has been tried and tested with teeny breeds too, and they love it!

The Clam

My dog loves a clam and I use them for her agility training. I think they are the best clams around, they close well but can be opened quickly by my dog. So a quick reward. Thank you

Our Dog Loves It

We bought the Clam after it was recommended by our dog trainer. She is a terrier and she loves it, and attacks it with gusto to work out how to open it and retrieve the treat that is inside. We are very pleased with it.

Great item but my dogs are toy poodles and find it very difficult to pick up and open it to get the sweet I would like to see a smaller version for small breeds

Great Success!

The clam has totally lived up to expectations, my corgi loves it. I use it as a reward joining our scent work sessions. Will be buying a second one as a spare very soon :-)

Fun toy

Bought this for my miniature schnauzer for use in agility training so that he goes for that when he's finished the course, rather than to me. It took him a little while to work it out the first time but now he can do it in less than 30 seconds, and sometimes faster.

Brilliant Toy!

You've never seen a dog more excited than when I bring this clam toy out and fill it with treats...it is hilarious to watch. She absolutely loves it. Its brilliant for hide and seek and fetch games. Product is very well made and safe to say has been a massive success.

Training reward

This is to use for hoopers to throw as a reward. Think it will last,as it's very well made and strong. Sticks together well with velcro,but easy enough for dog to put nose in,open the clam, and take the reward.

Excellent product. It forms our morning fetch play at home with hidden treats. Puts up with a lot of hard play.

My dog is finally understanding fetch

Our Springer loves the clam and so do we. This is the only toy he will bring back and drop every time. Whilst he loves chasing any toys you throw he always runs around in circles with them and refuses to surrender them for another throw. Thanks to the training we've done with the clam he is now starting to drop balls in front of us at the park so we can keep playing together.

Great!

This is the only toy my dog plays with. Every evening at the same time he drops it at my feet. He's a terrier so not a great retriever but happily brings this back time after time.

Favourite toy!

I have now purchased 3 of these clam toys for my dachshund as he absolutely goes wild to find them. They are hidden in the garden containing treats and he speeds round and round till he sniffs each one out. Definitely his favourite activity and very good exercise!

Great product, well made. My young dog loves to retrieve it knowing there's a treat inside when she does.

My dog loves the Clam

I am currently seeing a Behaviourist due to my Border Collie rescue dog's reactivity. She had never played before so he suggested the Clam, as she is very food orientated, as a way to engage her. I put really smelly treats in it and she really loves it! I just say Clam time and she gets really excited. Lovely product, made all the difference and we are bonding too as a result.

Clam ,

Mindy loves the clam , she has 2 one I use for her for rewards with training the other I pop her biscuits in for after her meals, as she has home made wet food as she needs a special diet, she loves them both, Mindy is very active very intelligent loves her play time with her tug toys she also has the hand tug fur squeaker which I use to enable me to take the other one from her rather then using treats all the time , it works well, thanks to the videos and manuals you've sent me, Mindy is a parsons fox terrier one of the old breed very fast very muscular very intelligent , but fun loves people just like to say thanks for your help an guidance with my pup.

I have 3 Spaniels of varying ages. 2 of which are very food led! This is excellent to use, particularly for the puppy who is still working on her foundation skills.

Great fun!

I bought 3 clams for my 3 cocker spaniels they love these 3 of the waggiest tails you could see when play fetch and find with the clams. Strong sturdy for the games we play but not a toy that’s left in the play bag we keep these separate with tug toys for special play!

The Clam

My puppy loves this toy and always gets excited when it appears.  Once he learnt that he could open it for a treat, he loved it more.  He soon learnt the technique for opening it but loves to knock it around empty too. Its certainly tough enough for this sort of play.  A brilliant toy.
