American Journey Beef Recipe Grain-Free Soft & Chewy Training Bits Dog Treats

I have a pit bull, who is much stronger than I am, so ALL the time is training time, to keep her listening to me. These treats are perfect for a good-behavior reward. I use A LOT of "training" treat. There are lots, and lots of treats that work but are much too big (so I spend a great deal of time cutting them in half or smaller). And there is treat that calls itself a training treat, but it is SO small she doesn't care if she gets those or not. These are just right, I do no cutting and she gets enough that it is worth working hard to "stay" even is she REALLY wants to move.

My 5 year old boxer LOVES these. She is not very food motivated and is very anxious, so it has been difficult to find something to motivate her enough to train outside...these do it! They are small and easy to put in my pocket, the smell is strong enough that she smells them before she sees them (good for getting her attention to practice “look” or “leave it”), and although the smell is pretty strong, they don’t smell bad at all! She doesn’t get tired of these treats like she does with others. She also has a lot of food sensitivities but is totally fine with these.

I have been repurchasing these since my dog was a puppy. They’re a great size training treat and are easy for my GSD to eat quickly when we are walking or out training. We also use them to keep her occupied when we trim her toes and put on paw balm. They are smelly and keep her interested. We don’t have to worry about giving her too many because they’re so small. I only wish they came in a larger bag in this flavor!

I like to keep some smaller treats around for my large dog for positive reinforcements. She likes these and I like the brand, but they are a bit smaller than I thought. They are about the size of kibble. My dog is a little confused by them, because they are so small, but they work for what I need them for.

My dog has severe leash anxiety, and goes level 10 crazy when he sees a dog during our walks. I have hired multiple trainers, and nothing works consistently. I walk him 2 miles a day, and this treat works extremely well at getting and keeping his attention while dogs pass us. They are just the right size, and he chews them vs swallowing so it is a great distraction for him.

For some reason Holly doesn't like these. I'm not sure if it is because the box was left too close to the edge of the porch on a windy rainy day and the box basically disintegrated. It kind of smelled by the time I got home. I washed everything but I think Holly still smells it. Anyway, they are probably great for another dog just not for Holly.

From day one of opening my Teddy won't even try this treat. It does have a very strong smell so that might be the reason for not trying it. You never know buying a new treat if our dog will eat them.

These are great for training. I have two labs and the school children who come by my fence, love my dogs. Unfortunately, my dogs jump on the decorative metal fence all the time to greet children. So, I give children five treats each and they teach the dogs to "off" and give them a treat near the ground level of the fence. So far, working great!

Came in the puppy box as a gift for the new puppy and she loves them. Great higher value reward to sprinkle in. I cut them into quarters because she's only about 8 lbs right now which is a little time consuming but better for her nutritionally. Only downsides are that they're quite strong smelling (not terrible, just a really powerful jerky-type smell) so the smell clings to your fingers and they contain peas (linked to DCM) but not too concerned as a very small part of her diet.

My GSD pup loves her training treats and doesn't seem to be getting tired of them. I like them because they are small and don't leave a mess behind. Great product.
