Dog training treats

[Whippylove]

Hi im looking for something natural for training with my dogs their allergic to chicken, I have used jr rabbit treats but have recently bought perrito Turkey treats but haven't read good reviews on them. Wondering what you all use? Any tips would be appreciated x

Canilove ostrich from zooplus. They are small treats but the boys love them.

Liver cake, can also be made with tuna.

A pack of liver (supermarket packs are usually about 500 grams)
About 250 grams of flour - I use gluten free as some dogs are gluten intolerant
1 egg
A slosh of olive oil or salmon oil for a glossy coat (optional)

Cut the liver into pieces and use a hand blender to blitz it with the egg until it's a sloppy mess. Stir in the oil if using and the flour. It still should be a sloppy mess.

Turn into a parchment lined baking tray measuring about 6"x9". It shold be about an inch deep.

Bake at 170 degrees for about 15 minutes until a knife comes out clean.

When it's cold, cut into kit kat finger sized pieces - half them again for a smaller dog - and freeze them in a freezer bag. They freeze in separate pieces so you can take out one at a time and break into smaller pieces for training.

Dogs love it, it has no sugar, salt or other nasties and lasts for weeks. It also is cheap to make - a recent survey showed some dog treats to be more epensive, ounce for ounce, than fillet steak!

Thank you both.
@Mad Murphy my boy's love ostrich so the biscuits would go down well.
@JoanneF the liver cake is something I'll look into baking for them, i do make pumkin and peanut butter biscuits for them so I will have to try that.

I'm a lazy owner so the treats Folly gets are Thrive dried liver treats and Fish4dogs tiddlers treats.

@Biker John I've actually ordered fish4dogs salmon stars for them so hopefully they will go down well!

Whippylove I used their training stars when I was training her, small and apparently tasty but I could, (and did), use a lot of them.
