Mini Chicken Training Bones
Tiny, crunchy, high-value rewards for training sessions. Each little bone is a single bite, so your dog gets lots of wins without a lot of extra food. One batch fills both trays in the Mini Treat Maker pack.

Serve it as: Hand-fed treat · Puzzle toy
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup cooked, unseasoned chicken, finely chopped (or canned salmon in water, drained)
- 1/2 cup oat flour
- 1 egg
- 2 to 4 tbsp water or low-sodium broth (no onion or garlic)
Method
- Heat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and set both Mini Treat Maker trays on a baking sheet.
- Blend the chicken, oat flour and egg until smooth. Add water or broth a spoonful at a time until it's a thick, spreadable batter, like thick yogurt.
- Spoon the batter onto the trays and spread it with a spatula, pressing it into the little bones. Scrape off the extra so each bone sits on its own.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until firm and lightly golden. For extra crunch, turn off the oven and leave the trays inside for another 20 to 30 minutes.
- Let them cool completely, then flex the silicone to pop the bones out.
- Use them for training, or drop a handful into a Totally Pooched Stuff'n Wobble Ball and let your dog nose and roll it to earn every bite.
Why it's good for them
Small, single-bite rewards keep training fun and fast. With one simple protein, it's easy to know exactly what your dog is getting.
Storage
Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months and grab a handful before each session. Remember that training treats count toward your dog's daily food.
Pantry recipes are occasional treats and toppers, not complete meals. Keep treats a small part of your dog's daily food, supervise frozen treats and toys, and check with your vet about allergies or health conditions. Sponsored recipes are always labelled.
