Best Training Treats for Dog Training

The right training treat can make or break a session — too big and your dog's full after five reps, too crumbly and you're both covered in it.

What to look for

• Small, low-calorie treats (2–5 calories each) so frequent rewards don't add up during a session.
• Simple ingredient lists — no corn, wheat, or soy — tend to sit better with sensitive stomachs.
• A soft texture that's easy to break into smaller pieces for quick, rapid-fire rewards.

Price range: $5–$15 per bag

Best for frequent, low-calorie rewards indoors or on cool days. Soft treats can get a little gummy in a warm pocket on a summer hike — fine for a 20-minute training session, less fine for an all-day trip.
