What treats are best for a puppy who won't eat dry training treats?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Yorkshire Terrier | Male | unneutered | 2 months and 29 days old | 4.6 lbs

Hi, I am sending this question because my Yorkie puppy doesn't eat any treats besides his ProPlan Purina food. He has came to my house a week ago and I'd like to start teaching him commands like "sit" and "stay" by rewarding him with other treats. I have tried to give him a variety of different dry snacks but he doesn't eat them. Some help is appreciated. Thanks.

How about some boiled white meat chicken (no bones)? Puppies tend to love chicken, and that would be a good healthy treat for him to help him learn commands. You can also try some boiled low fat ground beef in small amounts. I hope this helps, good on you for working on training Scott!
