Treats to train a new puppy? - Page 2 - Maltese Dogs Forum : Spoiled Maltese Forums

I'm into natural treats where I can, I no longer purchase packaged treats - in Au, just about everything is 'Made in China' - no offense to Chinese people at all!!, but there have been a LOT of problems with these types of treats, so I stopped buying them.

I wish I had started my 2 on green beans & steamed broccoli sooner!! *and yes, the broccoli has to be 'steamed' .... dont know why, but they don't like it raw?? little wierdo's!!

For the beans, I just thaw some from a frozen pack, and slice them into tiny bits.

The greens are a 'low - medium' value treat in our house, and have NO FAT! YAY!!! Excellent for training!!!

Just be sure to balance your pups intake .... you don't want to overload on treats.

Right now I'm giving her Sojo's peanut butter and jelly. Those are teeny tiny and can easily be broken to be even smaller. I like that I can break them up when I'm doing something that I need to give her multiple treats at once. In the past I've given her Buddy Biscuits and she loved them. As soon as the current box of Sojo's is gone I'll be giving her the chewy buddy biscuits and I have no doubt they'll be a hit.

I used the Zukes Mini Naturals. They are moist so easy to chew for the little ones. I have tried several other snacks but have always come back to Zukes. My guys are little and the other snacks are difficult for them to chew and digest. Zukes has never given them any gastric upset.

but so are all of these treats you all listed great for your dogs now, or when they were puppies, or both?

I'm using Merrick's dehydrated lamb treats ... she seems to love it!
