Tatum's favorite treat is definitely the dried liver treats - sold at WalMart. She only gets those after bath time. Her everyday favorite is the Vitakraft Yogurt Drops. One thing our obedience trainer said about using treats during training is to use something different and highly desirable. Something that during your training session, the dog will do anything for. She didn't recommend your every day treats. During obedience classes, we used a hamburger patty, torn up in very tiny pieces. This is something that Tatum would not normally get. During new "training sessions" at home, like when I was teaching her to catch a small frisbee, I used Cheerios. Since they are so small and not over-filling, you can use quite a few of these during your session. If yours is a puppy, then using the Honey Nut Cheerios is a good idea because puppies generally need the sugar boost.
Hope that helps a little.
