Treats
-
True Chews Chicken & Apple Sausage
These don't have much nutritional value so I'm cautious to not use too many, but Echo goes INSANE for these. For some reason these are currently one of the highest value treats for training. I break them into tiny pieces and they last a while. -
Miss Nelly's Canine Gourmet Chicken Sticks Jerky

​Miss Nelly's Canine Gourmet Beef Sticks Jerky
Miss Nelly's Jerky is probably my favorite treat for showing. Very high value, low residue, and they break into small pieces very easily.

The Honest Kitchen Grain-Free Chicken Whole Food Clusters
Technically this is a dog food but these are one of my favorites for when I'm doing lots of repetition work or any training where I'll be tossing treats on a dark floor (mats, dirt, etc.) They are very easy for dogs to find and a good weigh for accurate throwing. They don't stick to your fingers like other treats can.​ -
Charlee Bear Dog Treats
Great basic low-calorie treat. -
Vital Essentials Chicken Mini Nibs Freeze-Dried
Don't be thrown off by this being labeled as a cat food. While it is marketed for cats, its perfectly safe for dogs. they make a dog variety as well but I personally prefer the size of the bag of cat Mini-Nibs. These are nutrient dense and not a treat I worry about overdoing. (Other than keeping overall daily calories in check). These are also great toppers for dog food. I really like added them to kibble meals.-

Stella & Chewy's Duck Duck Goose Meal Mixers Freeze-Dried Raw Dog Food Topper
​Great as a training treat or a meal topper. -
Zuke's Mini Naturals
All my dogs LOVE these.
​
Chews
​
-
Little Loyals Premium Buffalo Horn
These are one of my favorites. They last months and can be left out around the house. They're not overly smelly and don't make a mess. -
Honey I'm Home! Horn Core Natural Honey Coated Buffalo Chews
-
Honey I'm Home! Trachea Tubes
These are softer and great for puppies. Adults like them too but they won't last very long.
​
I do not recommend antlers or smoked/cooked bones as they can splinter and break teeth. Rawhide is another big no from me. Rawhide is not fully digestible and can cause blockages.
