Training Treats 101 – How to Reward Without Overfeeding

Training treats should motivate — not replace meals.

What Makes a Good Training Treat?

• Small, breakable pieces

• High-value flavor

• Simple ingredients

Freeze-dried liver, scallops, duck tracheas, and chicken hearts are excellent options because they’re nutrient-dense and easy to portion.

Training Tips

• Reward frequently, but in tiny amounts

• Adjust meals on heavy training days

• Use enrichment toys to slow consumption

Training isn’t about quantity — it’s about timing and value.
