What about making liver cake (or if you can't stand liver, I believe tuna can be substituted but I haven't used it myself).
The recipe I use -
A pack of liver (supermarket packs are usually about 500 grams)
About 250 grams of flour - I use gluten free as some dogs are gluten intolerant
1 egg
A slosh of olive oil or salmon oil for a glossy coat (optional)
Cut the liver into pieces and use a hand blender to blitz it with the egg until it's a sloppy mess. Stir in the oil if using and the flour. It still should be a sloppy mess.
Turn into a parchment lined baking tray measuring about 6"x9". It shold be about an inch deep.
Bake at 170 degrees for about 15 minutes until a knife comes out clean.
When it's cold, cut into finger sized pieces - half them again for a smaller dog - and freeze them in a freezer bag. They freeze in separate pieces so you can take out one at a time and break into smaller pieces for training.
Dogs love it, it has no sugar, salt or other nasties and lasts for weeks. It also is cheap to make - a recent survey showed some dog treats to be more epensive, ounce for ounce, than fillet steak.
