Healthy dog treats that dogs love

First of all we feed our dogs raw. Primal raw patties along with raw meat consisting of chicken, beef no bone with the exception of what's grinded in their primal raw patties.
What we're looking for are somewhat healthy treats that the dogs love and we can use as bait in the show ring. The trainer recommended treats that can somewhat be seen which right now we're using nature balance a dog food (rolls )we cut to bite size pieces which work but she really isn't crazy over.
Some ppl mentioned they use hot dogs and only for training. Well we all know what hot dogs are made of but we decided to just try the all natural 100% beef hebrew hot dogs and our dog doesn't like them. How can she when she gets fed steak for her meals.

Anyways, Looking for some great dog treats that are practical to be used for bait.
Thanks in advance

I take beef liver put it in a food dehydrator and my dogs go nuts over them. You can make them chewy or as hard as you want. You can also choose your size this way. Wait till there done cause they shrink a lot. I would say so put it outside cause the smell lingers for days!! I also do chicken this way. Hope this helps!!

Your very welcome!! I love to make homemade dog treats. I would homecook if I wasnt afraid of them not getting all they need!! So I just make a bunch of treats. I give them to all my friends for there dogs. I have all kinds of recipes for treats. The liver and chicken are my dogs favorite.

Well then these treats are just the treats for you!! All you do is open package put liver on tray and set in hydrator place lid, plug in and wait!! Its that easy!! Cant wait to hear how you did!! If you do the Chicken treats its best to freeze the chicken that way you can slice it thin. Its easyier that way!!

I found a few more for ya!! They are easy!!

TEMPTING TRAINING TREATS
ingredients.gif


2 1/3. cup flour (all-purpose or whole wheat) 1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup applesauce
1/2 cup grated cheese (like parmesan)
1 large egg
1 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 cup non-fat powdered milk
directions.gif

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl; mix well; Roll the dough out to size of a cookie sheet; Pat the dough onto a lightly greased cookie sheet, bringing it to the edges.
Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, cut desired sizes into dough (just score through). If you're using as training treats, cut them into small pieces; Sprinkle a little extra cheese and garlic powder if desired on dough for flavor. Bake in a 350 degree oven about 15 minutes until golden brown. Turn off the oven and let cool for a few hours; They will keep hardening the longer you leave them. Break them apart; store tightly covered or in the freezer.​
