I feed raw, as well. I mostly use dehydrated meat treats. But I do like Zuke's Mini Naturals and Natural Balance or Redbarn Rolls. There are many great treat options in the LB store

First of all, those dried liver treats can be cut into about 8 appropriate size training treats.
Anything you're feeding raw can be made into a treat by microwaving it to leather and cutting it into corn-kernel sized bites. Or anything leftover from your own dinner. Treats don't have to come in a bag labeled "treats."
If you know you're going to train a lot on a given day, reserve part of the meal to use as training treats. Hungry dogs pay attention.
IMO, training treats #1 criterion is that they are high value to the dog. If they are small (and they should be) then nutrition is way down on the list. Somebody on here (might have been Betty) has used candy corn for dog treats!
I wouldn't be too worried that your raw-fed dog now only has champaign tastes. My five raw dogs think cat food kibble is terrific stuff as treats. I've yet to see a dog that wouldn't pay attention for a bite of hot dog. And when all else fails, there is bacon.
I will try everything from LB and see what he likes
Microwaving : I thought things are not raw anymore.
I have taken raw meat and given as treats, a little messy lol
And yes, he loves cat kibble lol, actually, besides the liver treats (that I do split in 8) I've been surviving on temptations cats treats. Horrible stuff but he goes crazy for it.
You might be right, he will like any treats I buy. Thank you, LB store it is

Almost all of the rewards mentioned in the links I posted are cooked in some manner (like the poached or roasted boneless skinless chicken breast that you cut into M&M size pieces).
