These tuna training treats will knock your dogs hat off! We train a lot for all our sports, so we are on the lookout for new training treats. Mom has heard a lot about some treats made with tuna that dogs are absolutely nuts about, but she has never gotten the recipe. Well, now she has the recipe from a nose work friend, Kathy, and I’m making them!
How To Make Tuna Training Treats
Any dog can make these treats because they are super simple, yet tasty! All you need is two cans of tuna, two eggs, and two cups of flour…a mixing bowl, spoon, parchment paper, and a cookie sheet. I think most everyone has these items on hand.
I mixed the tuna and eggs, then added in the flour. Of course, baking is a self rewarding behavior, so do not forget to taste the dough! See my tongue? Holy moly, it is super long because the dough tastes so good that I want more than just a taste!
Next I had to put the dough on the parchment paper and roll it out to about a quarter inch thick. It is a bit sticky, so I added some flour to the top of it before I rolled it. The shape you roll it into isn’t important. I wanted a rectangle, but got more of a unique shape.
Once that baby is popped into the oven it is time to lick off the spoon, and clean out the mixing bowl – YUM!
As soon as the tuna training treats come out of the oven, you need to get them off the cookie sheet and cut them into the size of treats you would like. I did like two inches long and half an inch wide so Mom can hold them in her hand and break them into smaller pieces as needed. One thing humans love about these treats is that they don’t crumble in their pockets, and they are not greasy.
The Taste Test
Always keep a close eye on your tuna training treats! Kitty Sophie is the most finicky eater in the family, and never eats treats. Well, look at her now…a real live cat burglar is what these treats have made her into! Where is Bert, you ask? He is always locked up when we cook because he is a menace in the kitchen.
Finally, it is time for me to taste the final product! By the way, if your dog can’t have regular flour, you can substitute whatever you usually use into the recipe.
Oh my heavens, these tuna training treats feel like they are about to knock my hat off! I’m so enjoying my first little taste, can you tell?
Any yes, my hat is off, and I really don’t care. These treats are as good as the rumors I’ve heard in the past!
The Recipe
You should definitely make these for your pup, she will love them, as Sophie loves them, and even picky Madison snarfed hers down! Grab the recipe and get started baking!
My GBGV Life is happy, so we’re joining Comedy Plus for Happy Tuesday!
tuna? you really said T.U.N.A.? oooh count us in please!!!
Tuna is super tasty. I bet you can make these even in France because the ingredients are so common!
You are a fabulous chef, Bailie! We love all of your cute photos and you look so proud of yourself in the last one. I NEED to get mom to make these for me – but when the temps cool down. She refuses to use the oven in this stoopid heat and humidity.
We had a couple low humidity days which we really enjoyed. Hope it cools down for you soon.
They must be really good. Look at the smile on your face.
We are all smiling about these. Very yummy in our tummies.
You are such a cute and happy baker and those look yummy!
I love to eat, so baking is a nice hobby for me…if it is simple.
What fun and it looks like these treats are very tasty. Thanks for letting us tag along while you make treats.
Thank you for joining the Happy Tuesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Happy Tuesday. Scritches to all the pups and kitty and my best to your mom. ♥
Something new and different for us that we love is a great find.
We hardly ever see Sophie and there she was on the hunt! You are looking great in the kitchen, Bailie, and your treats look delicious. I think I could make them. I love your smile! XOXO, Sparkle
I think anyone can make them because they are super easy, my kind of recipe!
What a great idea, they look like they will make great kitty treats, too, and i won’t have to buy the ones in the store that are so expensive!
Yes, the will work for felines and canines and are pretty cheap and easy to make. Hope the kitties enjoy them.
Bailie the BEST BAKER! Count us in – mom printed off two copies ( she SAID by mistake). You get more beautiful in each shot! and the pizza cutter is a fabulous way to be a “cut-up.” I can hardly wait!

Since we wanted strips, the pizza cutter is perfect! Hope you boys get some and enjoy them.
I will certainly make these for my Alex – but when we are are out of this heat wave . He loved the last cookies I baked for him.
Thanks Bailie!
Nothing better than homemade cookies and treats, right?
Looks like you are really enjoying those Tuna Treats Bailie! Us older pups aren’t big fans of seafood, but Sunny might be…so we had Mama download the recipe!
We all love fish here, just Mom can’t stand it, but she is older…I bet Sunny will like them.
It’s not too often we get to see Sophie, so we know they were good if they brought her out! You had Luke at tuna anyway, and me at “simple”. 🙂
Sophie doesn’t like to eat anything really, so her stealing really means a lot.
What a great doggie treat recipe. Thanks for sharing.
Simple and yummy.
We are drooling over these! We use th a in our food so we can beg Mom to make these.
They are really yummy!
These treats look delicious, and I will definitely be trying them out some time! I recently discovered that I am able to feed my dog sweet potatoes, so I look forward to incorporating these new foods into his diet.
None of us are very fond of sweet potatoes, but lots of dogs are.
