Most training treats are 30-40% meat. ProTrain Fresh Small Bites are 80%.
That difference matters. Higher meat content means stronger scent, better taste, and a dog that stays engaged longer — especially in distracting environments. Made in the UK from freshly prepared meat and fish, gently air dried, with no grain and no compromise. Available in Poultry and Fish, from 100g trial pouches to 3kg and 5kg bulk bags for handlers who've found their treat and want to stock up.
Why We Recommend It
We developed Fresh Small Bites because the treat market was full of products that looked good on paper but underdelivered in the field. High-sounding ingredient lists with low actual meat content. Treats that worked in the garden but lost their appeal the moment a pheasant appeared on the horizon.
80% freshly prepared meat or fish changes that equation. The scent is stronger. The taste is more compelling. The dog pays attention when it matters.
The fact that our customers are increasingly buying at 1kg and 3kg tells us something important: once handlers try Fresh Small Bites, they don't go back. That's the best endorsement we can give.

"I have field-tested both flavours under controlled conditions — specifically, conditions involving a very distracting squirrel. The Fish Bites maintained my focus. The Poultry Bites also maintained my focus. My scientific conclusion: buy both. The 3kg bag is the correct size for serious research." — Bailey 🐾

How To Use
Use as a training reward throughout sessions. Break into smaller pieces for puppies or very high-frequency reward work. Rotate flavours to maintain engagement. Factor into daily food intake — high meat content means these are nutritionally significant. Store in a cool, dry place. Reseal after use.
Care Guide
Store in a cool, dry place. Reseal packaging after use. Once opened, use within 6 weeks or refrigerate to extend freshness. Can be frozen in portions for longer storage. Check best before date on packaging.
Professional Insight
The size of a training treat matters as much as the quality. Too large and you slow the session down — the dog takes time to chew and loses focus. Too small and the reward feels insignificant.
Fresh Small Bites are sized specifically for high-repetition training — small enough to deliver quickly, substantial enough to register as a genuine reward. At 80% meat content, the scent does the motivational work before the treat even reaches the dog's mouth.
For handlers running multiple short sessions per day, the 1kg and 3kg sizes make practical sense. Consistency of reward is as important as quality — running out mid-programme disrupts training momentum.
Training Academy Tip 💡
Rotate between Poultry and Fish flavours across training sessions to maintain novelty and engagement. Dogs habituate to the same reward over time — switching flavours resets their motivation without changing the treat format. Keep one flavour for everyday work and reserve the other for high-value recall and distraction training.
ProTrain Principle
The treat that works at home means nothing if it fails in the field. Train with what performs under pressure.

FAQs
Q: What's the difference between Poultry and Fish?
A: Both are 80% meat/fish content with the same training performance. Poultry (Chicken, Duck, Turkey) is the familiar everyday choice. Fish (Salmon, White Fish, Trout) has a stronger scent — particularly effective for recall work and dogs that need extra motivation.
Q: Are these suitable for puppies?
A: Yes — the small, soft size makes them ideal for puppies. The high meat content is appropriate for growing dogs. Use smaller portions for very young puppies.
Q: Why do so many customers buy the 1kg and 3kg sizes?
A: Once handlers find a treat that works consistently, they stock up. The 1kg and 3kg sizes offer better value per gram and reduce the frustration of running out mid-training programme. If you've tried the 100g or 300g and your dog loves them, the 1kg is the natural next step.
Q: Are these grain free?
A: Yes — both Poultry and Fish variants are grain free, making them suitable for dogs with grain sensitivities.
Q: How do Fresh Small Bites compare to ProTrain Sausage Bites?
A: Both are high-value treats but they serve different roles. Fresh Small Bites are your everyday training reward — used throughout a session. Sausage Bites are your maximum-motivation treat, reserved for recall and high-distraction moments. Used together, they create a reward hierarchy that dogs respond to instinctively.
Q: Can I freeze them?
A: Yes — freeze in portions for longer storage. Particularly useful if you buy at 3kg or 5kg.
