I don't think that treats should be used each and every time your pup does what is asked of them. Especially the tiny ones because those treats can consume their appetite and than you wonder why aren't they eating.
I cut Callie's treats into small pieces of the chewy buddy biscuits look like gingerbread men and they break really easy.
