Beef is a solid medium-high value training treat. Not quite as exciting as liver but more interesting than chicken for most dogs. These squares are sturdy enough to survive a few hours in your treat pouch without crumbling, and the sweet potato adds a hint of natural sweetness that dogs find particularly appealing. Great for outdoor training sessions where you need treats that hold up.

π‘ Tips
- Press the mixture flat and even for consistent pieces
- Cut while still slightly warm for cleaner edges
- These hold up well in a treat pouch
- Good mid-value reward for ongoing training
