Dog Treats

[RiverStar-Aura]

I need some suggestions on what treats would be good to use for training. Zeus has an ultra-sensitive stomach and everything I've used in the past gives him very smelly gas.

I've tried liver treats, Nature's Gift Energy 200+ chicken bites, carob and even those "Chunkers" from Woolies (in the meat section). I'm finding it hard because it's not that he won't eat them, they just don't agree with him.

What do you guys use?

Try something simple like fresh chicken or beef boiled in a little stock then cut up into little pieces.

There might be some ideas in this thread too: http://www.dolforums.com.au/topic/220587-training-treats/

Boiled chicken?

Second cooked chicken without the skin. Its pretty bland and hopefully wont upset his stomach.

I just use boiled chicken breast for pups, cut it into small pieces and then you can still shred it into smaller bits still, so they just get a taste of it.

With a sensative tum, I would also be looking at portion sizes, each treat as small as possible and not using to many in one days worth of training. A sudden large amount of any sort of treat can affect the tum of some dogs, especially if you are in a class for an hour and using lots of treats, maybe try to look at using other rewards too?
