As we're trying to train him I've been using the treats we bought before we switched to raw which have grains (I know, BAD) quite sparingly. But other than the homemade liver treats, what else can I use? A quick look at the grocery store shows that EVERY treat/fake bone has grains!
I use treats sparingly; but, I do keep Liv-a-Littles salmon treats on hand. Ingredients: freeze dried whole salmon. Call: 800-426-4256 (Toll Free) for stores near you. I get mine from my local natural pet store.

Also, can I give peanut butter? I'd LOVE to fill a small kong toy we have with PB and liver treats (if I make them again) but I was worried about peanut butter.
...When in doubt - don't. A few licks is not going to hurt him; but, a kong full..? <gack!> JMO

Last question - I know beef bones are wreck bones, but are pork bones (like a pork chop) too big to give? Little Sir seems to prefer beef/pork to chicken/turkey (though he eats it all) and I'd like to get some more bones in.
Pork chops are sawn, so may have sharp edges. Plus, may be too dense...? I do let mine have some softer pork bones. What about small ribs, or rabbit or quail?
