Hi hoping this will be the right section I'm posting in! I'm currently wondering what kind of treats you all can recommend for my almost 4 month pomeranian? Being from HK, there is a hugeee variety of brands and countries I've seen at various pet stores so I get quite overwhelmed by exactly which treats are worthy of buying. I bought a few (keeping an eye on the ingredients of course) but I was told by the pet store owner to NOT feed treats yet! So I have these treats stashed somewhere.
I guess my question is pretty much what brands or types of treat in general would be good/appropriate for a small dog to use while teaching and training him tricks? I currently just use the kibble of the regular food (TOTW). TIA!
The key is maximum motivation with minimum impact (from the treat) If your Pom have a strong drive for the food you can continue using it. Just make sure you keep the daily energy intake reasonably in check. I use a grain free treat from Now that kind'a matches the ingredients from his everyday food. They break easily into halves for smaller dogs and cost less than most other treats.

Love high energy intact males. If you need to re-home one try contacting a local SAR training group, always a handler looking for one!

My dogs really enjoy treats from Three Dog Bakery. This is the website
Three Dog Store
I find incredible blowout deals on ebay on Jack LInks beef jerky for humans that were near expiration. Expired or not, they're sealed and would probably last 5 yrs easy later. Believe or not human beef jerky can be cheaper than dog's if you're patient and have lots of time searching.
