They best part about the Wellness Wellbites is that each treat is a square and I tear it up into 4 pieces, so they last longer.

Thanks, everyone. The Wellness Wellbites sound like they might be just what I'm looking for.

Mine loves these. We have the liver and peanut butter ones. No poop issues. I also like them because they hold up well during training in my sweaty hands sometimes!

If you want dog specific treats, Trader Joe's has Charlee Bears (liver-flavored treats) that are 3 calories a piece.

My dog also loves goldfish and cereal, we use those for training/practicing things she already knows. For new behaviors, it's cubed cooked chicken, string cheese, hot dogs, and freeze-dried liver. We have to be careful with her, too...too much of the "good" stuff and she gets the runs.

I did cooked chicken until they decided that wasn't good enough so I switched to little smokies.

I just bought some beef liver, boiled it and then dried it a bit in the oven. at 50 cents a pound you cant go wrong and Fanta loves them.
but if your dog is sensitive "straight" liver may be too rich.

Mona is a pretty picky eater, but I just picked up some of these Wellness Wellbites today and she goes absolutely bonkers over them. She's normally really focused, but I've never seen her act quite like this haha. Like Lauren says they will do anything for them!

It could be the AMOUNT you are giving and not the actual type of treats.

If you are using ALOT of treats when training you want to cut back her regular food a bit.

Overfeeding can cause loose stools.

If I plan to do some serious training sessions and I'm going to be using more than 1 stick of string chese - I cut back the dog's next meal to about half the normal amount.
