I have a small rope-chew that I put in the freezer but he doesn't care for that yet. I also have a frozen chew-treat which he does like but only for maybe 5 minutes before he gets bored with it.

Is he too young for Bully Stick (if I can even find them in local petstores)? Is there anything else that lasts longer than a minute or two? I'd like the treat to be healthy for him and good for his teeth too. Is that asking too much of a chew-treat?
Have the butcher cut a beef femur bone into 1/2 inch thick size. He will love them. I give my girls these right out of the freezer. Sometimes with puppies you can ruin a good eating habit by feeding "treats" and bully sticks.
