My Favorite Treats for Training

I often get asked about my favorite treats for training. After having been training dogs for more than ten years, I have plenty of suggestions!

Single Ingredient Treats:
For treats that need to be high value or for dogs with allergies and other food sensitivities, single ingredient varieties are great! Here are a few of my favorites:

• Pure Bites
• Fig & Tyler (Use code KM2856 for 10% off your purchase)

Freeze Dried Raw:
For those of you feeding a raw diet who want similar options for treats, here are a few great brands:

• Vital Essentials
• Bixbi
• Fig & Tyler
• Natural Balance

High Value Treats:
In additional to those listed above, there are other high value treats to try:

• Happy Howie’s Meat Rolls]
• Kong Peanut Butter Squeeze Tube

Trainers:
These are bite sized, soft training treats that I always have in a pinch”

• Bixbi Pocket Trainers
• Pet Botanics
• Crazy Dog Train Me treats

Human Food:
Human foods also make great rewards. Here are a few to try:

• String Cheese
• Hot Dogs (I prefer turkey dogs)
• Cooked and cubed chicken
• Frozen premade meatballs (no seasonings)

I hope you can use this list to help spice up your training and give your dog some variety!
