My furkids Donating Member | The girls just finished puppy K....I was giving them boiled chicken breast for training treats. The pet store where I buy food also sells homemade treats. They LOVE the cheddar bear and peanut butter treats. I had been using these for over a month...however...Sadie as put on weight...I would say at least a pound...I'm not a freak on wanting small furbabies but, Sadie has been 6 lbs for 2yrs now (she will be 4 in Dec) so I KNOW her weight gain is from all these delicious treats I have been given them. I have resorted to plain cherrios. they love them!

Living My Yorkie Dream Donating Member | I give regular dog treats as little as posible and lean more towards either carrot pieces or frozen green beans. They love 'em and the veggies have alot less calories.

Therapy Dog Donating Member | For training/clicker training: Yorkie Yummies or cut up tiny, tiny pieces of the Natural Balance logs (they have 3 flavors and Izzy love them all). For Pee pad/potty training - Judy what a great idea on yogurt drops (from Cafe Max???) I'm trying everything to get Izzy to go outside and so far Yorkie Yummies are good but I need that extra special treat that will get her to go outside ALL the time..hahaha.

| I was just wondering about good trainging treats myself after I saw a story on the Today Show this morning. (posted a thread about it in the general forum) The dogs love carrots & pea pods - I have never tried frozen peas - I will have to try that maybe alternating with some of the training treats mentioned above.

| treats I'm switching my babies off of dog treats(I used natural choice treats which they loved) to gerber treats for toddlers. I bought the sweet potato, the apple cinnomon, and the strawberry/apple. They are bite sized treats for toddlers but they are health and only 1.92 a jar at Meijer

| Molly LOVES cheerios and carrots. DH swears her eyes glaze over when she gets a carrot. The cheerios were an easy treat for potty training and tricks, plus we get the generic brand and they are cheap! Carla |
