The Best Training Treats for Dogs: Healthy, Tasty, and Effective
Share
When it comes to training your dog, choosing the right treat can make all the difference. Dogs learn best through positive reinforcement, and a tasty reward helps them stay motivated and focused during training sessions. At Paw Nutrition, we believe treats should be both delicious and healthy, which is why our freeze dried and dehydrated options are some of the best choices for rewarding your pup.
Below, we’ll break down the top training treats for dogs, including why our freeze-dried beef liver and dehydrated chicken breast are perfect for training.
Why Training Treats Matter
Training treats aren’t just snacks, they’re tools. The right treat helps you:
-
Keep your dog’s attention during training
-
Reward good behavior instantly
-
Build a stronger bond with your pet
-
Avoid overfeeding while still motivating
Since training involves repetition, treats should be small, easy to chew, and packed with flavor. That’s where freeze dried and dehydrated treats shine.
1. Freeze Dried Beef Liver (Paw Nutrition Favorite)
Our freeze-dried beef liver is a training essential. It’s high in protein, low in fat, and full of natural flavor dogs can’t resist. Because it’s freeze dried, all the nutrients are locked in without added fillers or preservatives. Plus, you can easily break it into smaller pieces, perfect for rewarding good behavior without overfeeding.
2. Dehydrated Chicken Breast
Another Paw Nutrition best-seller, our dehydrated chicken breast is lean, single-ingredient, and easy to digest. Dogs love the natural flavor, and you’ll love knowing exactly what you’re feeding them. It’s lightweight, non-greasy, and won’t crumble in your pocket, making it ideal for training sessions on the go.
3. Soft Training Treats
Moist, chewy treats are excellent for quick rewards. Their texture makes them easy to eat fast, so your dog doesn’t lose focus during training. Look for brands that use wholesome ingredients without artificial flavors or fillers.
4. Freeze Dried Salmon Bites
If your dog loves fish, freeze dried salmon is an amazing training treat. It’s packed with omega-3 fatty acids that support skin and coat health, while delivering that irresistible flavor dogs crave. Like all freeze dried and dehydrated options, salmon bites keep nutrition intact with minimal processing.
5. Dehydrated Sweet Potato Chews
For dogs with sensitive stomachs or poultry allergies, dehydrated sweet potato is a healthy alternative. Naturally sweet and chewy, it provides fiber, vitamins, and a taste dogs enjoy. Cut into smaller pieces, they make great training rewards.
6. Small Cheese Cubes
Cheese is a high-value reward for many dogs. Just remember to give it in moderation, since it’s higher in fat and calories than freeze dried and dehydrated options. Opt for low-sodium cheeses like mozzarella to keep it healthier.
7. Commercial Training Treats
There are also many specially made training treats available in pet stores. When choosing these, check the label for clean, simple ingredients. Avoid treats loaded with fillers, sugar, or artificial colors.
Choosing the Best Treat for Your Dog
Every dog is unique, so it may take some experimenting to see which treats your pup responds to best. That’s why we recommend starting with high-value, single-ingredient treats like our freeze-dried beef liver and dehydrated chicken breast. They’re healthy, natural, and proven to get tails wagging during training.
