| Training Treats? I was just wondering what is the best type of training treat to use? We started class last night and we have Nature's Choice little meat flavored bites, that we divided into fours but they got all crumbly and everything. I just didn't know if anyone could recommend a good training treat that is already small enough that I can just reach in and give to her and not have to spend time cutting the treats up into small bites. I also want something nutritious I don't want to be feeding her junk. Thanks in advance,

| Gracie loves the Simon and Hueys training treats. They are very small and soft. You might also try the Wellness treats that are square. They are easy to break into small bits and they don't crumble. You can google Simon and Hueys and get to their web site and order from there. When all else fails, good old fashioned turkey franks (no need to cook) work like a charm, as do bits of low fat string cheese. Have fun!

Therapy Dog Donating Member | I know..I know... I use the Natural Balance rolls for Izzy's treats for clicker training and that is the ONLY time she gets them and she loves them. I cut slices and then cut the slices into tiny pieces because you know you go through a lot of them with training. Then you can wrap up the remainer and place in the fridge.

| Yorkie yummies are yummy, but I don't think I would use them for training. My puppy school teacher said not to train with hard crunchy treats because they must be chewed and as such are distracting. You want something soft that they can inhale quickly while keeping their attention on you and the training. I use the yummies for maintenance of things Gracie already knows, like sit and down. New things need soft training treats.

| I use soft and chewy buddy biscuits in the peanut butter flavor for training. I wish they were a teeny bit smaller though so I wouldn't have to break them in half. |

| Cheerios are great to use, and they're small. I also use "Nature's Recipe".
