We just got a new pet, Molly a yorkie pup, she is 9 weeks old now and we are training her to go out for the bathroom issues, she is doing very good and has a lot of enegry. This is our first animal since we lost our yoggi a few years ago, he was 12 and a 10/12lb yorkie, Molly is a smaller 6/8 lb. We have purchased lot of different treats and cannot find one that she likes, I was wondering what treats do you feed your small dogs, would like to find something that she really likes.
Thanks for your replys..

Just for training purposes only, I use hot dogs cut into very tiny pieces. Otherwise, the treats my dogs get is lots of love from me. Don't make food an issue with the dog. Feed it twice a day and thats it.

I used low fat string cheese for training. Cut up a piece of string cheese into long strips, then cut up each strip into several pieces. If you then lay them out on a paper plate they'll dry up a bit after a couple of hours and can be put into a plastic baggie without them sticking together. I used these for training treats. Annie is now 5 years old and she still goes nuts for the cheese.

Some of the treats that have been mentioned are full of additives and sugars you may not want to get your little pup in the habit of liking, not healthy or necessary for their good health.
I now have on hand these little chips of dehydrated chicken, I found them for my diabetic dog but our Lab also loves them, much healthier for them, I never buy grocery store treats anymore.

Hi! Molly is a great name! We have a black/tan doxie named Molly! Just a friendly piece of advice from our vet. Never give dogs pieces of hot dogs. They are just the right size to choke them. SO we wrap the pills (when needed) in some kind of shaved meat. The best and most inexpensive treats we have found for training or otherwise is Cheerios! Give Molly a mooch for me!

I'm almost as picky about treats as I am about my dogs' main diet. I prefer to give them healthy "human" food, such as small bits of chicken, steak or cheese. I make home-made dog biscuits. The only commercial biscuits they get are made by Natura.

I have to avoid wheat, as one of my dogs is allergic. But for a tiny dog w/o the worry of a wheat allergy, I would use Charlee Bears, which have only three calories each.

Be careful with any type of commercial dehydrated chicken treat. Most are made in China, and processed with who-knows-what. And liver treats are notorious for causing diarrhea, so go very easy on those.
Dehydrated hot dogs (I use Nathan's kosher) make wonderful treats for dogs. Cut a hot dog into round slices, and then cut each slice half or fourths so that you have very small or tiny little pieces. Spread them on several layers of paper towels and microwave for several minutes until they are crispy (time will vary depending on your microwave and the thickness of the pieces). Your house (or RV) will stink for awhile, but you'll have a bunch of tiny, inexpensive treats that will last a long time even w/o refrigeration.
