For awhile I took chicken breasts and dehydrated it it my oven it was more like a jurkey but was a bit crumbly. Mine love love love Zukes very berry grain free treats I brake them in half a they share one. I'm trying to teach them to sit nice for a picture. Now I have to put them on tables and Maddie jumped of a really high table last week I felt bad.
I poach chicken breast (bring to boil then reduce to simmer) for 15/20/25 mins for sm/med/lg cuts, then cut into raisin-size pieces. I measure a handful per ziplock bag and freeze whatever I'm not using. A large chicken breast can last a couple of weeks.
Occasionally we will bring home a rotisserie chicken from the deli and I will cut up the leftovers into tiny squares and freeze a handful in ziploc bags. My guys go nuts for that. When we go to Rally class, I pack the baggie in an insulated lunch sack with a frozen cold pack to keep the chicken pieces sort of frozen, as they can get a bit messy when they have thawed. I also use the string cheese occasionally. Or tiny pieces of cheddar cheese. They don't get treats other than for training purposes.
Linda, good point about treats only for training purposes.

I've been cutting them into small pieces as they are quite large for him straight from the package.

I think ALL the commercial training treats are too big for our guys (even as adults) without some "customization". Even the little round ones like "Tricky Trainers" I break in half.

Oops. I just realized I kind of lied. They also get treats after I get through grooming them - a couple of the tiny pieces of frozen chicken. And also Finn got some when he had a bit of a regression with potty training.
