Duke and Pia's favorite is the PupCorn (peanut butter flavor)and the jerky treats from Costco. They are very particular about their peanut butter flavored. When I get the big bones (not pig ears but bones) they have to be peanut butter flavor. Same with the Pupcorn. If it's any thing else they just look at me funny and walk away.
On days like yesterday with the fireworks, they get the pupcorn in their kongs with peanut butter. I just have to be careful with how much they get or give them pumpkin with it as too much peanut butter makes them constipated.
Ohh and the icecubes that fall from the fridge!
My aunts dog would only eat her food with a little bit of shredded cheese in it. I didn't believe her till we watched the dog one weekend. She barked at her food bowl till I put in there!!
What do your dogs go crazy over - or is there something that is their treat?

Riker's favourites are locally made and sold in one our pet stores, pumpkin cookies "iced" with yogurt. He goes nuts over those.

My dog doesn't get processed dog treats other than a quarter of a check-up bone after dinner. He gets cooked carrots as a snack and occasionally Cheerios. Everything else bothers his stomach. He gets chicken and cottage cheese with his food to help him get down all of the pills he takes.

Usually Natural Balance treats (the limited ingredient ones). She also loves apple slices and the kids sneak her a little piece of string cheese every so often.

For the longest time mine didn't get them because my oldest had food restrictions. Now that he's passed, I have started giving Benny just plain milk bones for small dogs - the ones that are supposed to clean teeth and freshen breath. They've worked wonders for him.
I might start making him some treats too - I have a dog treat cookbook.

Mine are spoiled, I make all their treats. Peanut butter flavored are their favorites but they also like treats with pumpkin or applesauce in them.
I'm working my way through a dog treat cookbook.

Various types of dog cookies, raw carrots, cooked green beans, the "pup cup" from our local ice cream store which is vanilla ice cream with dog cookies in it.

Kayley has diabetes, so her treats are limited to very small quantities of green beans and broccoli, both of which Lacey eschews (yeah, she spits 'em out, she'd rather have nothing). Lacey does get little training treats, though. I can only buy unflavored rawhide (many of the flavored types of rawhide have sugar), but one thing they both really like are ox/cow tails.
Lacey came to us not expecting people food, so that's great, but the only way I can get a pill into her is in a pill pocket or cheese. When I tried tucking it into a bit of canned food, she ate around it.

We rarely buy commercial dog treats for our dogs, usually only at Christmas.
They get pieces of apples, raw carrots, romaine lettuce, chunks of tomato or cheese as treats. They LOVE cheese.
They also love pizza crusts, and will get those on occasion, but only a tiny bit for the Shepherd because she has allergies.

I buy dog cookies from Trader Joe's. Real ingredients and made in the USA. I'm paranoid (justifiably so, I think) about treats after reading about all the dogs that got sick (and some died  ) from Chinese-made treats. We also give her little bits of cheese, raw carrots, frozen green beans, and sometimes as a real treat she gets a "popsicle". I make the popsicles by freezing those small plastic containers of baby food, the kind that come in the rectangular container with lid. Gerber I think. I buy the sweet potato or squash, single ingredient. I just toss them into the freezer then every once in awhile we give her one. She knows the word popsicle. lol |

My little pup Toby loves ham, he will do absolutely anything for ham  I have tried some of the treats on pinterest, he has liked all that l've tried so far but love, love, loved the peanut butter and bacon ones, I even bought a bone shaped cutter to make the treats nice for him. link
The other ones I've tried are the cheesy ones and the banana and oat. |

I use a lot of things that are people food, but they go in his dish. We don't feed him from our hand, and he doesn't beg. We cal also leave a plate of food on the table in the livingroom, walk out and he won't touch it.
I use things like blueberries, apples, carrots, watermelon, green beans. Frozen cubes of broth, watered down PB, pumpkin, water with fruit or veg in it. I make treats from oatmeal, PB, pumpkin and an egg and bake until crisp. I use pigs ears from the local butcher who does them himself and I cut them into about 1 inch pieces for treats.
Once or twice a week I mix 1-2 teaspoons of coconut oil in his kibble at dinner for his coat and as a treat. |

Little training treats only on a regular basis. They love the Blue Dog Bakery ones. They also get rawhide chews but neither of them eats them; they just gnaw on them. Occasionally they get a bully stick or a peanut butter kong.
Neither will eat vegetables as a treat. We've tried green beans and carrots and they spit them out.

Frozen green beans, frozen blueberries, ice cubes, Trader Joe's dog treats, and Newman's Own dog treats.
Shevy, thanks for posting your treat recipe-I'm going to try it!

They get a bully stick every morning. They also get a Milk Bone biscuit every day.
For training we mix it up so they don't get bored. Training treats are anything from small pieces of the Costco jerky to boiled chicken, hot dogs and string cheese.
Food bowl treats are green beans in summer and a bit of pumpkin in winter.

My long hair chi-poo (chihuahua/poodle mix that looks a lot like a Maltese) gets a piece of ham most days after I brush him out from out walks.

Too many treats They get treats that come in their monthly Bark Box as well as Greenies, chicken jerky treats, peanut butter in their Kongs, lamb ears, and their latest obsession water buffalo ears. They also get small training treats on occasion as well. |
