Treats to train a new puppy?

[LamborghiniGirl]

Are there certain treats that are good for training a new puppy (like rewarding them for going on a pee pad)?

I figure some 'treats' i may find at the store are not suitable for such a small little puppy.

thanks!

(again, like in my other post, i tried to search for past posts about this, but nothing relevant comes up when i type in "puppy training treats" or "puppy treats"

Treats that can be broken into pea-sized pieces and are soft.

Buddy Biscuits soft and chewy
Natural balance roll cut up (keep in fridge)
Solid gold tiny tots

You can also use some boiled chicken, cheerios, small pieces or fruit or veggie.

I also like Zuke's Mini Naturals. They are soft, and come in Peanut Butter, Chicken, or Salmon flavors. For little puppies, I break them in 1/2 or 1/4 pieces even though they are already tiny.

We also use Zukes mini naturals but when Lilly was a little puppy I used tiny pieces of boiled chicken

I like the Buddy Biscuits, Solid Gold Tin Tots and the Zukes too.

I also like Natural Balance lamb roll, but it has to be refrigerated.

The other ones don't, just make sure you close all the bags or they get really hard and hard to break into small pieces. Make sure if you're treating a lot you adjust their meal time feeding amount. Keep in mind, you can also use their food kibble as treats (or toys, or petting too..those are all rewards as well.). For them eating more of their food is better than eating a lot of treats.

i buy organic chicken from costco and cook on 350 for 40 min and chop it up in small pieces as it is safe and low fat. Also i steam green beans organic from whole foods as a lot of treats are high in fat and not real healthy so i go organic and natural

I use:

Stella & Chewy's Freeze Dried (On training days I use the same amount as they would be fed - it counts as their entire meal)
Real Meat - It's a jerky type treat made in New Zealand and I can break it up into tiny pieces

Those are my 2 that I use all the time, I add a few others in randomly, but nothing on a regular basis.

Micky's main treat are chopped up baby carrots pieces. He loves them.

I use bill jac treats, they are very small & soft. Sophie LOVES them. I buy them at Petsmart, then are in a purplish color bag or you can get a small box that looks like a childs milk carton.
