Dog Health Questions: The best treats for small dog training?

My mom bought me two dogs (I'm 15) and I have to train them.
They're Yorkie-Pomeranian mixes, so they're small, and I was wondering what the best treat there is to give them? Like, for when I'm training them, and I give them praise and a treat - what are some good brands? (Treats that are quick for them to eat)Thanks! :)

Recommended Answer:
We use Zuke's Mini Naturals as training treats. They are healthy with no corn, wheat or soy in the ingredients. We have a Papillion (7 lbs). The treats are tiny, soft and easy to chew so the dogs eats them up quickly, only 2 calories each. During our training class, because he gets so many, we usually break them in half with our thumb nail so he doesn't come home FULL of treats.

Secrets of Dog Training Professionals - Why Use Food?

• Very small pieces of cheese are good for training dogs, but you will have to be careful that they do not eat too much.


• Bonio Dog Biscuits with Chicken


• I have had great success with freeze-dried liver treats. They are a bit stinky (the dogs LOVE this so they work extra hard for the treat) but they are dry so not messy at all, and they can be cut up into tiny pieces and don't crumble like a biscuit would. I also appreciate that they are 100% beef liver, no extra ingredients, preservatives or fillers. I get these liver treats at PetSmart or Petco, the ones I buy come in a large tub and it lasts a very long time.

  Since liver does have a high vitamin A content, it's possible for them to have too much of it, so I'd rotate this treat with other things such as cheese, boiled chicken or other dry treats.


• really small cats!!!!!!!!!


• if you go to a local pet store, or even a petco or something, they have actual treats that are made for training. doggie treats (milkbones and such) are very very fattening. one milkbone= half a bowl of dry food. and its not good to give table food bc its not good for them, (higher cholesterol, higher protein-some dogs can break down the protein as much as other dogs can)
  
  the training treats are very small, like a pellet, and low in fat. look into it, goodluck :)


• then that needs to be dealt so hard that hes pinched a nerve for your best dogs
  
  take your dog


• i use natures recipe training treats and break into thirds for mine.


• You can try a piece of small chicken or a tiny treat the size of a dime.


• I would try bacon strips!(dog food, not actual bacon)
  They worked amazing for my terrier
  he knows how to sit, shake hands, roll over, and jump!


• You should make sure that the dog treats are small enough for your dogs to easily eat them. And, because you'll be training them, you don't want to give them so many that they gain too much weight.
