How many small training treats are safe for my puppy daily?

Question

How many treats should I give my puppy a day for training and rewarding purposes in this bag. I give him 1 cm x 1 cm cube treats. I usually fill half the bag per day. Pet's info: Dog | Belgian Sheepdog | Male | 6 months and 16 days old

This depends on how many calories each treat is. What I usually recommend is seeing how many calories Nero should be getting with the dog food and then subtracting the amount of calories you are giving in treats from the main diet to ensure you are not feeding excessive calories. I probably would not feed more than 3-5 treats per day if you are feeding them in addition to the diet. You can also use the diet as treats and set some aside as training treats to ensure you are not overfeeding. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
