20 Best Dog Training Treats Made In Usa (2022 Updated)

My babies absolutely LOVE these treats! They’re the perfect size for every size of dog and at approximately only 4 calories per treat, I don’t feel bad using these between meals. There’s plenty of other positives, too, like omega-6 fatty acids, real meat with no by-products, and doesn’t include any Red 40 or propylene glycol.

Plus, this bag is priced well especially for the size! I love using these to help our newest addition learn commands while also using them to keep my other babies on their toes (and make sure they don’t feel left out).

Overall, amazing treats!!.

My dog loves Blue Buffalo Co. Blue Chicken sticks. I am very careful on what I feed her and she can’t have other products have made her very sick. She enjoys Blue Buffalo and I am happy to give her a treat that is a healthy reward worth fetching for as they have no meat by products or propylene glycolred 40.

Blue Buffalo starts with high quality chicken as the first ingredient unlike other dog treats. It is a bit more pricer than other dog treats but those made her sick. My dogs health is my my concern and spending a few dollars more is worth it to me knowing I am taking good care of her.

I recommend having your dog trying Blue Buffalo Stix Chicken as well.

These are super soft and easy for my pup to eat. Perfect size for a reward to a small task. So good for training somewhat. I got these because I already love this brand and my puppy is a husky and I know salmon is a fave among most of the other huskies that I know.

I took off one star because (I can’t personally speak on the taste for obvious reasons) but my puppy just doesn’t get very excited for these compared to other treats we have bought. I’m not sure if it’s the flavor or what.

I will be purchasing a different flavor next time to see if that changes things.

I have tried a variety of treats for my spoiled pup and I was exclusively training him with these because he loves them and they worked. However, I noticed he had a lot of tartar building up for a pup a bit over 1 year old.

I switched to a local feed store brand of treats and the tartar is almost completely gone. My pup loves these but I highly recommend regular teeth brushing if you use them!.

My pup loves these and they are so great for training. I keep a bag of these on me constantly to reward good behavior. They’re the perfect size and calorie count for training purposes. The taste must be decent too because my pup still looks forward to them every time!.

My pup absolutely loves these way more than any other training treat I have gotten him. I was excited to see they had a 1 lb as we went through the 4oz bag so quickly. However, I did not know the treats would be bigger: the ones in the smaller bags are only 1.

5 calories, and these are 3 calories each. A little time-consuming to go through and cut each treat in half, but I’m really happy with the amount and price point so it’s worth it in the end!.

I’ve homed mostly large breeds and often use training treats as motivators instead of full biscuits. This usually works well but these PARTICULAR training treats are small…like REALLY small. About the size of a caplet, which is WAY too small for my hippopotamus pretending to be a Great Dane.

Would work great for a toy or small breed…maybe a soft mouthed golden.

My first review of these mentioned how Ace hardware has these much more affordably. A few months later, i check again and now Chewy has the best price. These are so perfect the pups are happy to receive their other rewards and treats, but these, they anxiously look for more.

The sizes are tiny tubes, some longer than others, can be broken down a bit if get 1 that is 3″+ long which 1 can get 7-8 that length in the bag. They hold their shape in a pocket without breaking down, being impacted by humidity or heat/cold.

I have been using this small training treat since the day I got my new pup. He loves them and will learn a new trick very quickly when I award him with one. They are so small they do not interfere with his regular feedings so that is a plus.

The treats don’t smell bad. They’re small, relatively firm, and can be broken into two fairly easily. My pup really enjoys these. However, these treats require more chewing (where as other treats are a quick bite).

It takes her quite a few chews to get these down, and the action is like she’s chewing a bubble gum. We call these treats “bubble gum” now. Since chewing is required, we use these for rewarding desirable behaviors, such as being calm or laying down to rest, rather than quick actions.

For these scenarios, these have been great training treats.

I have a pit-mix with a relatively sensitive stomach, so I have to be very mindful about the treats that I give him. The ingredients in this product seemed relatively simple so I gave them a try and I am happy to report that not only does my dog’s stomach agree with these treats, my dog LOVES them, too! While my dog is older, he is never too old not to be practicing his recall and I love using these treats as a reward since they are so small I can give him multiple during a training session and not have to worry about over doing it calories-wise.

Not to mention he is always on his best behavior when he knows that I have these treats. He can be a bit picky so I add these to his food dish on days where he wants to be picky to encourage him to eat everything in his bowl.

I’ve been looking for bite sized training treats for my small dog. So many of the ones sold in local stores near me are full of terrible ingredients. I was pleased with the ingredients in these. I knew they wouldn’t be soft but I saw they were small so I wanted to try them out.

We’re working on loose leash training and they’re perfect for handing them down to her while we’re walking. She’s a chihuahua mix and doesn’t take her long to chew them. And on top of that, she loves them!.

I use these as my standard trainer treat. Both my dogs will work for these 95% of the time (the other 5% is only accomplished with hot dogs or bologna, ew). I usually break these in two in my hand, unless the big bag of the 1 1/2 kcal treats are available, so the value is good.

I haven’t noticed any GI issues when using these. I’ll definitely keep buying these.

My dog loves these treats. I use them as a training reward as well as a replacement for a spread to cap his kong stuff toy. They are really soft so once I fill up the kong most of the way I’m able to stuff some of these in there and basically mold them like clay to seal off the top of the toy.

Very useful since my dog doesn’t like peanut butter. The strong odor that these treats have are both a positive and a negative. On the one hand they’re very good at getting and maintaining my dog’s attention during behavior training exercises but on the other hand every time I so much as touch one of these I have to wash my hands.

Which isn’t so bad after training because I have to wash them anyway but is a little annoying when I’m trying to leave in the morning and I have super smelly soft dog treat under my nails from filling his kong.

Overall I do like this treat and will continue to buy it.

These little treats are a BIG smash with my German Shepherd ~ he will do just about anything to get them! I think he would was the dishes if he could! LOL Seriously, these are GREAT training treats and my service dog in training is loving them immensely! I would highly recommend!.

My OP loves these! I have tried so many treats, and these are, BY FAR his favorites. He’s so picky, and these smell good enough to make ME hungry. I have long had to secure them from a competitor, and was thrilled to find that Chewy is finally carrying them.

THANKS! & please continue to do so!.

Cheapest but best treat for the money, and one all three of my dogs love. Because of the quantity of quality product, there’s no restriction how many treats one can give per pound per dog. Side bar remark: It was definitely a cheaper bribe in getting my German Shepherd to come back in the house 😉 Now she comes on her own.

I first recieved these treats upon adopting our dog. They came with her care package. She’s a large dog, so I wasn’t convinced she would find much satisfaction in these. How wrong I was! She loves them! She is not exceedingly treat motivated, but she is always there for these.

As a bonus, my large Maine Coon cat also loves them! It has been extremely helpful having them both eager for the same treat, to help them adjust to co-habitation. I genuinely don’t know if cats are supposed to have them, so I use them sparingly for him, but at this point in their relationship, i will pretty much give them anything that helps them get along!.

My puppy, Molly, and I were going through regular size dog treats like a fish through water. She could consume an entire bag of treats in one session of fetch. I had to cut back but she started losing interest when no rewards appeared.

“Trainers” to the rescue! Plenty of tasty rewards and one bag could last through several sessions. She gets a reward every time and she loves them.

One of my dogs is more particular with treats, and the other is a bulldog garbage disposal. I wasn’t surprised when the first one spit them out, but the bulldog? He eats everything! Maybe I got a weird tasting bag.

The treats are great sizes and soft/malleable. I wish they liked them! Will give to a friend.

I ordered several different treats, to try to find some good ones to train with, unfortunately these missed that mark. However, they are great for one time rewards, such as going potty, coming when called, or just random reinforcing rewards for known behaviors.

They do not work well for learning new commands, or things that will require multiple rewards quickly. My dogs do love them, and they smell very flavorful. It says they are chewy, but they are a bit too chewy.

They are pretty firm, and sometimes I hear a small crunch when my dogs eat them. It tends to take them about 3 seconds to eat one. I will probably purchase them again, but next time not for training.

I have ordered these treats one time. On 11-10-2020 I ordered 5 bags of these treats and they were delivered to my home on 11-15-2020. They were hard as a rock. I looked at the expiration date on the bag and they expired on 12-12-2019.

My dog liked them so I kept them, but unless Chewy. com replaces them, I will not order from them again. I have ordered many other things from them over the years, but no more. Almost a year outdated was too much for me.

I bought two bags of these when they went on sale and I plan on buying a few more! These are decently sized training treats. I’d love them a lot more if they were easier to break apart but I can’t complain too much.

The smell is strong but decent. My dog comes running as soon as he smells them. I love these treats a lot but with how my pup goes through training treats, I probably won’t be buying these unless they are on sale with how expensive they are for how many treats are in the bag.

(I am speaking as someone who uses treats EXCLUSIVELY for training. I definitely think they are worth it if you aren’t going through nearly a whole bag of training treats a day in the first place).

I received these a month ago and have used them with great success coaching my canines in their obedience training journey! They also make life easier successfully delivering “untasty” medications, as you can press tablets down into the treats to mask their taste.

Worked like a charm every single time! No funny smells. Always tender. Perfect size. I will never switch to any other treat!.

My 73-pound German Shepherd puppy will do anything for one of these, which look like cubes of gelatinized gravy. They are what our training coach calls a “high value treat” — that thing they love most that you pull out when you want to show your dog the very best reward.

These have been a great solace for enduring “scary” new things well, like nail clipping and bathing. Giving Gilby a few treats while he had his first bath kept him calm and reassured him that the bathtub can be a good place.

I really love these canine training treats for my terriers. They are the perfect size and I really love that they are moist and soft and easily chewable for my senior dogs! We had been ordering the pumpkin flavored ones (which they loved!) but I decided to give the chicken flavor a try with my last order and all of my dogs are going bonkers for these treats! I literally had to hide them in the cabinet because if they were in eye view, all of my dogs would just stare at them and cry for more! These treats are also the perfect size and consistency for hiding small pills with.

One of my dogs is on an allergy medication twice daily, and I simply break these treats in half, push his pill into one side, and then smush both sides back together. Works perfectly and he gobbles down his treat and his medicine with no fuss or hassle!.

He loves this brand of treats but especially this flavor and the bacon even more! The size is perfect because I do not want him to overdo it on treats so this allows me to reward him often cause he is a good boy, and honestly, spoiled! These have also never bothered his stomach and he loves them! These are a staple at my house.

These, and the greenies pill pockets hickory smoke flavor, which when not used for hiding meds, I split into a bunch of pieces so they are about the size of these. For reference, he is 3. 5 years old and 31 pounds.

My dog LOVES these! He gets so excited for training time when I bring these out. I love how they are soft so I can hold it and keep my dogs focus longer. These treats do have a residue due to them being soft so going through longer training sessions your hands will get a little sticky (& slobbery because your dog will love these) Make your trainings session more exciting & successful with these treats.

So my own pup was not a fan of these, but she is a picky eater so I didn’t think much of it. However, I do pet services and also foster dogs – I have tried these treats with at least 5 different dogs of all shapes and sizes, and not one was overly thrilled with them.

Most of them spit the treat back out and leave it on the floor! I would have thought that they would be a big hit with the bacon flavor. alas. I will be looking for another low calorie treat to use for training rewards.

This one just doesn’t seem tasty enough :(.

My ferrets and Doggy absolutely love these as healthy tasty treats. It’s fab they are such high percentage real meat so I and my pets highly recommend these. Especially as my dog can only eat 100% real meat type treats due to serious medical conditions.

So am happy can get some good options for her and the ferrets. And it’s an added bonus for them to be a tad cheaper than normal. Thank you.

My 3 month old puppy absolutely loves these duck training treats. They have been the perfect size to teach her out to take the treat nicely too. We love them and highly recommend

Virtually odourless and easy to carry around in your pocket. Nice tiny squares ideal for my little dog and always well received.

There are many training treats that are small but when you hold treats in your hand for any length of time most leave a slightly sticky residue which I find unpleasant. These are drier so I’m more likely to use them for their intended purpose – encouraging good behavior in various settings.

My dog loves the taste too and responds very well to them. The ingredients are clean and that’s the first thing I look at when considering a new product. I would buy these again.

I tried these out for the first time because he eats this brand food and because they were 2 cal each instead of the 4 in the other brand (I have to be mindful, we go through a lot of treats in training).

He went CRAZY for these. He loved them, and motivated his training. He even tried to lick my and the trainers hands when they were empty. I’d say they were a success lol. In general I like Nulo products as they are low calorie and contain only a few ingredients.

So I recommend these.

I’m a pack mom to 9 rescue dogs, all sorts of ages and sizes, so I have all sorts of doggie opinions! lol This Nulo Freestyle Grain-Free Duck treats, were a hit with all but one of our pack members and even my oh so picky one loved them! Now I do think because of the size they are better suited to smaller dogs, as the big dogs simply looked at me like where’s the rest? lol Though they very happily ate them! For some reason, who knows why one of the littles was a bit of a diva and didn’t even try it.

But like I mentioned my pickiest of all, not only like them but wanted more and she is the one most likely to either turn her head at a treat or spit it out, yes I said spit it out! It’s Sophie’s world we just live in it! lol It would be great to see these in a larger size for the med to larger dogs though.

Another thing I liked, these treats weren’t stinky!.

These were a hit! Still working on loose-leashing walking 3 years later, and these are perfect. One bag lasted for 4 walks, and he gets treated frequently. Love the caribiner clip so I could attach to my treat bag, and he loves the taste.

They aren’t enough of a high-value treat to stop him from chasing squirrels, but nothing is, not even steak. Will definitely buy again. #sweepstakes.

My vet restricted my pug to lamb only in his diet because of an allergy to chicken. I purchased this product because the readable portion in the picture on line indicated, in large letters, LAMB. The photo on line was not easy to read but I assumed (my mistake) it was lamb only.

After letting him have one, I read the ingredients on the bag. IT CONTAINS CHICKEN FAT. Thankfully, the treats are tiny! I’m going to give them to my friends dog, who isn’t allergic to chicken.

Our dogs love these we can take them with when we are walking love the idea. We will defiantly be buying these again. We have told some of our friends already thank you Petflow for having this new product.

Thanks.

My puppy goes crazy for these Finley’s Turkey Training Chews. I tried getting them online because I wanted new training treats and she absolutely loves them. She is a doberman/pitbull mix and I feel comfortable using a lot of these to train her.

They’re also small enough where I feel like I could use it as a topper on her kibble. Will purchase again!.

My 2 Papillons are obsessed with these treats. Although they are great for training purposes, I often keep them in my pocket just for a special treat to reward them for being good pups. We’ve been through many different treats, but these are hands down their favorite.

We’ll be trying the other flavors as well. Full disclosure, they have a pretty pungent aroma, but that seems to why they enjoy them so much.

These treats are perfect for training. Our schnauzer goes crazy for them, and they can easily be pinched in half when you don’t want to go overboard with the hand outs 😉 We also like that salmon is the #1 listed ingredient, followed by other actual food stuffs that you can recognize.

Good for the puppy!.

I am always looking for soft treats for my Tiny Toy poodle named Taz. He lost 9 teeth at once when under 1yr and I have never heard a dog moan in pain before! He needs a serious Dental cleaning and possibly teeth extracted.

Therefore, I need to feed him soft food and treats. He is so picky, I have racked up a bill with all the trial treats and food. I absolutely love how these treats are made and packaged! They are a snippet in size and are perfectly made to stay soft.

They are really good in both areas. I’m hoping he will be inclined to eat them as a treat once he gets a cleaning and an infection cleared so it doesn’t hurt so bad to eat. Thank you Chewy. I just wish you carried Nudges.

I have an 11 year old Australian Shepherd who has an autoimmune disorder and is very sensitive to foods. After trying several different hip/joint treats, they all aggravated her autoimmune disorder and I had almost given up.

I happened to see Zukes at our pet store and decided to try them out. No problems with her autoimmune disorder! She has now been on Zukes since she was about 7 yrs old. I can also squish half of a treat and wrap her daily allergy pill in one and she will gobble it down without trying to spit it out! Because of her allergies, chicken is the only flavor she can have and she gets one treat every morning.

I have been buying these for years now. At first, I just liked the quality, and my dog loves them. She is now 16 years old. I switched treats for a few months last year, what a mistake. she visually changed having trouble walking and with stairs.

I bought them again hoping they would help and that this is want caused the downhill change. YUP. she now is so much better; people don’t realize how old she is. That being said she eats healthy as well & takes 11-1, but I truly believe these are helping her tremendously.

After years of wasting money on other dog treats, we can vouch that this is the best. We always try others since this one is expensive, but we always come back. It’s worth every penny. All my dogs will come running when they hear the bag open.

It’s hilarious. We try looking for it at pet stores and it’s impossible. I am 100 % a legit customer of Chewy’s for years, and I’m not kidding with this product.

Have given these to my dogs for years. Bought locally till I couldn’t get them any more. Found them on Chewy. Auto ship. Every thing has been great. Always on time. My granddaughters can likes them too.

Increased pkg size to include her. Great service!!!.

I always have two dogs, rescues of course. A Shih Tzu and a Cockapoo. Everytime they go out and do what they’re supposed to do I reward them with one of these. I break off a piece and share it. Dogs don’t know size and the bag last all that much longer.

Duck is so much better for dogs especially with sensitive stomachs as both of mine do. The chicken treats is an instant “disaster” for them. Your dog will love you even more. if that’s possible.

My husky did not like them for long. She would accept them and spit them out. Luckily, my Shepherd would then gobble up her reject piece! The other 2 girls LOVE these, they’re super great when on walks (can be thrown at crazy dogs charging you while simultaneously rewarding your dogs for being so well behaved despite the loose dogs), great for training my Shepherd to wear her muzzle willingly, and great just for coming in the front door and saying hello to my girls at the end of the day!!! I think this particular flavor smells more like BBQ but hey.

They like it so whatever!.

These treats are VERY disappointing!!! They are hard as rocks! I got them for my 2-3 pound dogs but my tiny dogs can’t even chew them! I do NOT recommend these treats!

We have a new puppy and she absolutely loves these treats. Our eight year old Chocolate labs begs for them. I walk around our-neighbor hood for exercise and keep them in my pocket to give to other dogs who approach me.

Not one of them have ever refused and their tail is wagging. Now when they see me they know there going to get a little treat. Will be a customer fo life.

Love these treats because they are tiny! I train constantly. I have a very timid nervous Staffordshire terrier and she loves these! I always have a pocket full on our walks. Also and very important I like the ingredient list.

Ori eats just about anything but it is clear when she loves a treat and when she likes one. This one she spat out and it’s the first one she ever did. I was surprised because she does eat other products (such as Barkworthies rabbit sausage) but this one was not a hit.

Funny enough, she didn’t want to eat it but also didn’t want me to have it lol. Does not eat these though. Based on other reviews it seems like it’s either a hit or miss depending on your pup’s preferences.

Still, I can’t recommend this product due to the high price and seemingly high potential for the doggo to not be interested.

I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review. I have used these for training my puppy as well as my other dogs in the house and they all love them. My one dog is a little picky and even he likes these.

I really like that they are breakable into smaller pieces so they are perfect to use for training. Since they are freeze dried I’m able to keep a couple in my pocket when I go outside and I can do training outside and just pull one or two out easily.

I’m excited for my pups to try some of their other training treat flavors! #furryfriends #puppylove #trainingtreats #dogmom.

I ordered this on a whim since my dog is a beagle and they’ve been bred to hunt rabbits. Despite his strong instincts, he’s never caught one. I thought he might enjoy these instead and boy does he!!! He could somehow smell through the bag right away and this made him very excited to the point of being impatient and howling for me to open the bag faster.

I like that they’re small and low calorie so I can give him one more times (beagles are pretty prone to being overweight). The only thing is that I ordered the smaller bag instead of the bigger one, but that’s on me!.
