Costco "milkbone style" biscuits, Costco "made in the USA" dried chicken breast, Foxy Treats and Slim treats for training.

Keep treats in tight glass jars.  Plastic bags are porous to odors; I don't think they seal well.

Remember that training treats can be very, very tiny, match-head sized.

For special rewards (like Emergency Recall refresher training), something extra-special like bacon.

Screw-cap prescription containers are good for the doggie fannypack.

I would count veggies as treats, if your dog thinks it's a treat it's a treat. Mine do not really like the raw veg, but I do give them some frozen veggies that are cooked. Biscuits and treats can add the calories so I buy the smallest ones or break them up.

 We were eating some take out burgers last week and Hercules was looking at me and I said you can't eat this it is bad for you. Bad for me as well, yup I am more careful with the dogs food.

Currently we have on hand Charlee Bear which we rotate through the flavors, Wellness WellBites Soft and Chewy Treats, CET HEXtra Premium Chews, Homemade Tuna Training Treats and Smoked Turkey. Those are all his "good" treats. His junk food would be Beggar Dog Biscuits, Old Mother Hubbard or Milkbones.

 

So currently he only has 8 on hand.

 

We also have stuff like his refills for his "Everlasting Treat Ball", sweet potato treats and such but only when we make a trip out of town to get dog supplies. Most of the packaged treats are made out of the US and that makes us very wary. It's funny, my hubby and I will eat gut rot from fast food places but we read the labels on Ashton's food. LOL

i have tons of treats:)! i work at petco so i always know whats on sale and get them for cheap too. he has 4 different types of just wellness treats but his favorite is of course chicken and cheese. he also have old mother hubard because i can use those when training because the are kinda tiny. he also has the canine carry outs(i know those are not the best but i use that for recall training) also 2 bags of the natural balance made with apples and blue berries. but i also give him Zukes hip action treats. i love these because they are all natural. he also gets busy bones,roasted bones, and some raw hide if its a rainy day

I have exactly 0 bags of treats. Ella gets her food, and she gets green beans or carrots as a "treat".  We did have dental treats, but she ate the last one yesterday and I need to pick up more today.  But even dental treats she only gets one every other day.

Now I feel like a mean mom.  But she really does love veges.

We have a whole bin of dog treats!  Some are duds, like Trader Joe's jerky treats.  Others are must haves, Old Mother Hubbard Bits are the only treats that fit in Amy's treat ball.  We have a bag of Charlee Bear treats that fit but she doesn't like them and Twinkie just follows Amy and eats them as they fall out.   We have also have a puzzle toy that only uses Milk Bones. So spoiled!

The Charlee Bears come in at least 4 flavors and I have the turkey liver and cranberry right now. They are small and only have 3 calories so they can earn several. They also are made in the USA:)

I guess I have to check out the Charlee Bears, have not tried those. Next trip to Chuck and Don's I'll have to see if they carry them.

Comment by CorGeek on March 18, 2011 at 1:04pm

10 different kinds: 1 for distraction toys (Charlee Bears...lo-cal and locale!), 1 for a good morning/first potty reward, 1 for training, 1 for bedtime (I bake these), 1 I haven't opened yet, 1 quick chew and 4 different kinds of longer chews.

 

I'm nuts.
