Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! We use peanut butter at our hospital as treats to keep puppies and adult dogs calm for vaccines and nail trims. Peanut butter is fine as long as your dogs don't have allergies or get an upset stomach from it. Also only use it in moderation as it is fatty. So as a treats, to reward good behavior, for training or for medications is fine. I hope this helps!
