A good training treat does one job brilliantly: it lets you reward your dog the instant they get it right, again and again, without filling them up or breaking the rhythm. That means small, soft, quick to eat and low in calories, with a smell and taste worth working for. Ours are baked in our HACCP-certified kitchen on the Sunshine Coast, made specifically for dogs, with no added sugar.
What makes a treat good for training
- Small. Pea-sized or smaller, so dozens of rewards still add up to very little food.
- Soft and fast to eat. A piece your dog can swallow in a second keeps the session flowing. Hard chews break the rhythm.
- Low in fat. You will hand out a lot of these, so they need to stay light.
- High value. Real meat your dog genuinely loves, so the reward actually means something.
Keep it under 10%: On a big training day the rewards add up fast. Keep treats to about 10% of daily calories and take a little off dinner to balance it out.
Our training range
Kangaroo and beef micro bones
Soft, lean, single-protein micro bones sized for fast repetition. Kangaroo is naturally lean and a useful novel protein for dogs with sensitivities.
Fish and chicken bites
High-protein, high-value morsels for the times you need a reward your dog will work hardest for, like recall or distraction work.
Soft and insect-protein options
Gentle, soft pieces that are easy on puppy teeth, plus sustainable insect-protein options for dogs with multiple food sensitivities.
How to train with treats, and how to fade them
Timing is everything: reward within a second or two of the behaviour so your dog connects the two. Use a marker word or a click at the exact moment, then deliver the treat. Once a behaviour is reliable, you do not need to pay every time. Move to rewarding now and then, and start mixing in praise, play and life rewards (a door opened, a ball thrown) so the treat becomes a bonus rather than a bribe.
What makes ours different
We have made treats for dogs, horses, cats and small pets since 2007, and we are now stocked across Australia, the UK, US, Ireland, Singapore, Germany and Japan. Every treat is Australian made in our own HACCP-certified kitchen, with real ingredients, no added sugar and no artificial colours or preservatives.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best treat for training a puppy?
Small, soft, low-fat pieces a puppy can eat in a second, like micro bones broken in half. Keep portions tiny and sessions short.
How many training treats can I use in a day?
As many as you need for short, frequent sessions, as long as the total stays near 10% of daily calories. Use smaller pieces and reduce meals on big days.
Are these suitable for dogs with allergies?
Yes. Single-protein options like kangaroo, plus insect-protein treats, give you alternatives for dogs that react to common proteins.
When can I start training with treats?
As soon as your puppy is home and eating solid food. Early, gentle, reward-based sessions build great habits.
How do I stop relying on treats?
Once a behaviour is solid, reward intermittently and bring in praise, play and everyday rewards so the food becomes occasional rather than expected.
