I have my dogs on a barf diet and I will be getting a new puppy from Germany next week. I used BilJac liver treats with my other dogs. (They ate Kibble back then and that is what I used when they were training, this was pre-BARF) What kind of treats do fellow Barf feeders use to train with.
Thanks in advance.

I use hotdogs (low sodium) mostly.

plain, cooked, boneless chicken breast cut into small pieces works well, too, and isn't greasy.

I use that, too, along with Charlee Bears (unless there is a wheat problem), freeze-dried turkey liver, and once in a while human-grade jerky with low or no sodium and no hot pepper.

I typed "human jerky" first, and then when I re-read it I thought it looked a little cannibal-y.

Whatever you do, healthy or not, get something that he loves and goes crazy for. I give my dogs whatever makes them stupid crazy and could care less how healthy. I don't give them enough to make that much of a difference.

Just have to hope that you haven't spoiled them too much by that time. Our dog goes crazy for Prosciutto, but I don't think I can afford to keep a big supply around! My wife loves it and all it took was for the dog to smell it once. Now he smells it and comes running whenever she brings it in the house.

I use a homemade treat called "Marylene's dog brownies". My dogs have no wheat alergies but if your dog does you can replace the cream of wheat with cornmeal, oatmeal etc. I found pink (alaskan wild caught) canned salmon in Krogers for 83 cents a can.
In a blender place one can pink salmon, one egg (you can add the shell if it doesn't make your dog choke), a few cloves of garlic. liquify then mix in one cup of cream of wheat. Lay a sheet of aluminum foil on a cookie sheet and spray it with olive oil (or Pam). Spread the material out with a spatula. Bake at 290 F for about 45 minutes. It should be firm, but not dry. Cut it into small squares with a pizza cutter then bag it in zip lock bags. You can also use, chicken, liver, deer burger etc etc. My dog likes these treats, they keep well and handle nicely. Longer strips can be cut if you hold the treats in your mouth. (Like Tom Rose's Competition Heeling Video) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />They taste pretty good, I have been known to add Old Bay to them but not too much because of the salt.

Cool! Oatmeal might be a good choice here.

Have you seen the dehydrated liver treats? My dogs love those, and they too nicely portable.

Everyone on our club swaps food treats. That way everyone has 2-3 different types on them. It's amazing how a dog will pick up when you pop him something different from what he's used to. We use it as another variable.

I'm with Jeff on this one. And, I have never cooked/baked dog treats, though that salmon recipe sounds good, just haven't found it necessary.
