Do you have Pet Supplies Plus? We use Cloud Star's Itty Bitty Buddy Biscuits broken up in several pieces. Pieces about the size of 1/2 a cherrio. Cherrios work fine too but I've found these easier to toss.

We also use Charlee Bears. If you buy a small package, they are smaller treats. The cheese flavored are the best. I get those at Petco and from Pet Edge online.

The only "wet" treat I would use is plain chicken breast in tiny pieces. Since we do so much training, this would mean a lot of cooking! So we use dry treats. Things like puperonis can cause diarrhea in some pups.

Also, just use kibble. On obedience class nights I just dump Loki's bowl into my treat bag and use that. No way is he getting 40 treats when I could just use his dinner! I already have to send him to daycare so he can run with the other dogs and not get fat!
