I make homemade liver treats for them.

You wouldn't believe what the store bought ones cost. And the homemade
ones are so delicious and gorgeously stinky that dogs will literally do
back flips for even tiny crumbs.

At a couple of tournaments we attend the host clubs do a potluck on
Saturday evening. There's always so much people food that my
contribution is the dog treats, prepackaged in those little disposable
salad dressing ramekins, with a stack of recipe cards printed out so
people don't have to worry about feeding their dogs treats with unknown
ingredients. There are never any leftovers.

If you want them to keep better at room temp, you can twice bake them
like biscotti, returning to the oven at low temp after cutting, and
stirring and turning until they're dry and crunchy.
