These no-bake training balls are ready in minutes and dogs work incredibly hard for them. The stickiness of peanut butter makes them extra interesting — dogs love the texture as much as the taste. They're soft, which means senior dogs with dental issues can enjoy them too. Roll them small for training, and you've got a batch that'll last you several sessions.

📊 Nutrition Notes
Peanut butter provides protein and healthy fats. Oats add fibre and sustained energy. These are calorie-dense, so keeping them tiny is important. The soft texture makes them accessible for all dogs regardless of age or dental health.
💡 Tips
- ALWAYS check peanut butter is xylitol-free
- Keep these small — they're calorie-dense
- The soft texture is ideal for older dogs
- Refrigerate to maintain shape — they soften at room temperature
