What are the benefits of training with natural treats?

Should I train my dog with natural training treats?

Simple answer is YES...Alwaysss! 

Training your dog is one of the most important parts of building a strong, trusting relationship, and using high-quality natural dog training treats can make all the difference. Fidelis natural dog treats are designed to support effective positive reinforcement dog training by keeping your dog focused, motivated, and eager to learn.

Made from 100% natural ingredients, our treats provide a healthier alternative to highly processed options, helping to maintain your dog’s overall wellbeing while reinforcing good behaviour. 

Feeding natural dog treats supports better digestion, cleaner nutrition, and ensures your dog stays alert, engaged, and responsive during training sessions, which is essential for consistent progress.

How to use & how big are they?



Our dog training treats are slightly soft, making them perfect for quick rewards without interrupting training. They can be fed whole or easily broken in half depending on your dog’s size or the level of reward needed.

Each mini bone is approximately 1cm in length and weighs around 1g per treat. As a natural product, this can vary slightly, but you can expect around 100 pieces in a 100g pack and approximately 1000 pieces in our 1kg resealable bucket. This makes them ideal for frequent training rewards without overfeeding.

To use these training treats for dogs effectively, reward your dog immediately after they perform the desired behaviour. Timing is key so they clearly associate the action with the reward. Because the treats are small, soft, and highly palatable, you can reward more often without slowing down your session. This helps maintain focus during dog training and improves learning speed.

Choosing natural dog training treats like Fidelis means you are not only encouraging better behaviour but also supporting your dog’s health, concentration, and long-term wellbeing. High-quality nutrition plays a vital role in keeping your dog focused on commands, responsive, and ready to learn, making every training session more effective and enjoyable.

Our Minimal Processing Advantage = Healthier Treats



At Fidelis, we focus on a simple, careful approach, preparing each ingredient to ensure only what is needed goes into every treat before gently air-drying to preserve natural nutrients and flavour.

Unlike many standard training treats, ours are never extruded and contain no fillers or artificial preservatives, only clean, natural ingredients. This light-touch process helps protect essential vitamins and minerals while keeping the authentic taste dogs naturally enjoy.

By using low-temperature drying, we retain the integrity of each ingredient, resulting in a softer texture that is ideal for training while still delivering a nutritious and wholesome reward.

Our simple 3 step process for creating our Training Treats

Step 1: Sourcing & Preparation

We source our ingredients from trusted, human-grade suppliers across Europe, ensuring full traceability and consistently high standards. 

Each ingredient is then carefully trimmed, cleaned and checked by hand so only the very best makes it into our training rewards. Our fruits and vegetables receive the same level of care, freshly prepared to preserve their natural goodness in every treat.

Step 2: Air-Drying Process

Each ingredient is finely minced and shaped using custom plates without extrusion, creating consistent training rewards. 

Each piece is then carefully checked and gently air-dried at low temperatures for up to 20 hours. This slow process helps retain natural nutrients while preserving texture and flavour.

Step 3: Inspection & Packaging

Our final step is a careful hand inspection, where any pieces outside our standards are set aside and donated to a local dog charity. 

The rest are weight-checked, packed into kraft paper bags or buckets, dated and prepared for dispatch to our warehouse ready to fufill our online orders.

"Good little treats"

My dog likes these and I carry a few with me on our walk for as a reward for good recalls. They are very small so don't fill her up and they don't seem to make a mess in your pocket"

Real Training Treats – The Fidelis Difference

At Fidelis, our dog training treats are created with a clear purpose, to make training easier, more effective, and better for your dog’s health. We focus on natural, high-quality ingredients that dogs instinctively love, helping to keep them motivated, engaged, and ready to learn. 

Our training treat range includes a variety of options designed to suit dogs of all sizes, ages, and dietary needs, including single protein dog treats that are ideal for dogs with sensitivities.

Our treats are crafted using a simple process that protects what matters most, the natural flavour and nutritional value. By carefully preparing and gently air-drying each piece, we create healthy dog training treats that are both highly palatable and easy to digest. Unlike many heavily processed alternatives, our treats are never bulked out with unnecessary fillers or artificial additives, giving you a cleaner, more natural reward you can trust.

The texture of our soft dog training treats makes them perfect for regular use. They are easy to handle, quick to feed, and can be broken into smaller pieces when needed, allowing for frequent rewards during training sessions without overfeeding. Whether you are working on basic commands, recall, or more advanced training, having a consistent, high-value reward helps your dog stay focused and responsive.

Because we use real, natural ingredients, each treat may vary slightly in shape, size, or colour. This is a sign of quality, not inconsistency. With Fidelis, you are choosing natural dog treats where no two pieces are exactly the same, reflecting the genuine ingredients used in every batch. This natural variation helps maintain interest and keeps your dog excited for every reward.

How to safely feed your dog a training treat

Training Treat Bones are an excellent way to reward good behaviour and keep your dog motivated during training, but they should always be given as part of a balanced diet.

Always keep an eye on your dog while feeding, particularly when introducing a new treat. 

Our mini training bones can be fed whole or broken into smaller pieces depending on your dog’s size, training needs, or reward frequency. Some dogs respond best to small, frequent rewards, while others are happy with slightly larger pieces.

Ensure your dog has access to fresh drinking water at all times. If your dog has a sensitive stomach, introduce these natural dog training treats gradually and monitor how they respond. Avoid overfeeding during training sessions by factoring treats into your dog’s daily food intake.

Real benefits with Fidelis Training Treats

Dog owners who choose Fidelis Training Treat Bones often see noticeable improvements in their dog’s focus, behaviour, and engagement both during training and on everyday walks.

By using natural, high-value training treats, dogs become more motivated to listen and respond, making training sessions smoother and more productive. Improved responsiveness and attention can help reinforce commands more effectively, turning small wins into consistent progress.

Regular use of positive reinforcement with natural dog treats can also support a calmer, more content dog. Providing clear rewards helps build confidence, mental stimulation, and trust, making training not only more successful but also more enjoyable for both you and your dog.

"These are my dogs favourite!"

"These are my dogs favourite! We used to purchase the 100g pack size of Rabbit Training Bones but recently upgraded to the 1kg bucket as its a huge saving.

So great to see a brand not hiding fillers within their treats, these are 95% pure rabbit which is exactly what we wanted"
