1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper—perfect temperature for firm training treats.
2. Mix salmon, sweet potato, and chicken broth until combined and your dog starts begging from the amazing smell.
3. Stir in coconut flour and egg until a workable dough forms (about 2 minutes of mixing).
4. Roll dough to 1/4 inch thickness on lightly floured surface and cut into 1/2 inch squares for training.
5. Place treats on baking sheet and bake 20-25 minutes until firm and slightly golden—if your pup can wait!
6. Let cool completely before using for training sessions (crucial for safety and texture).

Notes:

• Always let cool completely—hot treats can burn eager mouths during training
• Amber prefers these firm enough to not crumble in my training pouch
• Make them small—training treats should be quick rewards, not meal replacements

Storage Tips:

• Store in fridge up to one week in airtight container for freshness
• Freeze extras up to 2 months—thaw overnight for training sessions
• Don’t leave out during long training sessions—they can spoil in heat

What Makes This Recipe Special:

These training treats combine high-value salmon protein with brain-supporting omega-3 fatty acids, making them perfect for focused learning sessions. The coconut flour creates an ideal texture that won’t crumble in training pouches while being gentle on sensitive stomachs during repeated feeding.

Mix It Up (Dog-Safe Variations):

Chicken Training Version: Substitute cooked chicken breast for salmon (same protein benefits)

Freeze-Dried Power: Add 1 tablespoon freeze-dried liver for extra high-value appeal during challenging training

Competition Prep: Make extra small (1/4 inch) for rapid-fire reward sessions during advanced training
