New puppy? Adopt a dog from the shelter? Training treats are about to be a must-have item. Training treats are often much like ordinary treats, but they’re much smaller in size, because training requires an ongoing effort and too many high-calorie treats can lead to weight gain and possible health conditions. Other treats suitable for training may be larger but are easily broken apart into smaller, reward-worthy chunks.
Training your dog or puppy is an ongoing process, and you’ll want to reward your pup both inside and outside – as well as on walks. A Canine Hardware Treat Tote or a similar product is the perfect way to have treats at the ready while you’re training your dog. We’ve rounded up the best treats that are great for training your new pup, listed below in alphabetical order for easy reference. Once you’ve determined your dog’s favorite flavors, you can treat her with everything from apple and pumpkin-flavored treats to liver, chicken, and other favorites – all flavors that you’ll find below. Ratings information listed with each product is based on Amazon reviews and is current at the time of this writing.
