How long do Chickpea Training Nibs last?

Each nib is freeze-dried to be long-lasting, typically lasting 30-60 seconds in the mouth. This extended reward time reinforces training better than soft treats that disappear in seconds. Perfect for positive reinforcement training sessions.

Are Chickpea Training Nibs good for all dog breeds?

Yes. Chickpea Training Nibs work for all dog breeds from toy breeds to large dogs. The high-value nature of the treats makes them effective for training regardless of size. Portion size adjusts naturally based on your dog's appetite.

How many training treats per day is safe?

Training treats should make up no more than 10% of daily calories. For a 50lb dog, this is roughly 15-20 Chickpea Training Nibs per day. Always adjust their regular food to account for training treat calories to prevent overfeeding.

Can puppies have Chickpea Training Nibs?

Yes. Chickpea Training Nibs are appropriate for puppies 8 weeks and older. They're freeze-dried chickpeas with no artificial ingredients. Start with small quantities and monitor your puppy's digestion. Consult your vet if you have concerns.

Do Chickpea Training Nibs have fillers or artificial ingredients?

No. Chickpea Training Nibs are 100% freeze-dried upcycled chickpeas. No fillers, no artificial ingredients, no by-products. We use sustainable sourcing and chef-crafted quality standards from our Cordon Bleu founder.
