Save yourself the extra work. Use cooked chicken, beef, lunch meat that is sliced into small pieces, cheese, hot dogs, etc. Try a variety of treats to find out which ones are the most motivating to your dog. I have found that the highest reward foods for my dog are rare beef, beef jerky, cookie dough and whipped cream. We only use the last 2 when we are learning new and very difficult tricks to master and that is his "Jack Pot" reward for success. He got a "Jack Pot" of beef jerky when we completed the 60 pole weave challenge this past summer.
If you are using the food in training, I highly suggest something that you would eat too. The reason for this is most classes teach you to put the food in your mouth first and then as the dog does a good job, remove small bits from your mouth and give it to the dog. This will encourage your puppy to associate looking to your face (not a pouch or pocket) and that you are the giver of all things good and that it will usually come from your mouth (smiles, praise, and food). It should be super yummy to help motivate them to work extra hard to please you to get the reward of the food.
Don't forget a little variety. By the end of class, if you are using the same 1 flavor, your dog will feel less motivated than at the beginning of class to get the treat. If you introduce a 2nd goodie, it can be of a higher reward value to help them to stay motivated or to really communicate a "Jack Pot" payoff for great behavior. It will really help your dog to understand what you want.

Take raw chicken livers and a little fresh garlic (just a clove or 2 for every container of livers that you use), put in a pan or on a cookie sheet, and bake in a 400 degree (F) oven until it is done. You may need to turn the livers over when they look about half done.
You can also use beef or lamb livers, but the chicken livers are easier to find and cheaper.

A great training treat that a lot of my friends use are hot dogs.
You chop them up in little chunks & then put paper towels under the pieces & also cover them with paper towels.
Microwave until they are crunchy. - Do this for 1 minute at a time & check them frequently cuz burned hot dogs are rather stinky. (Trust me on this one!) LOL
Anyway, keep cooking until they are rather dried out & the paper towels have absorbed the oils.
The press them between more paper towels. They will be dried out & neat to carry.
They are quick to make, cheap & easy. The dogs LOVE them.
OK - and I kind of like them too.
:)
You can also do the same process with beef liver but it smells horrible! It's also neat & easy to carry when done - but I don't like to look at liver & the smell makes me gag.

In the "olden days" when I first started training dogs, I kept crumbled chicken liver (cooked) in my pocket. Just a tiny bit was sufficient because it has a strong flavor that the dog loves.
Since this was a very long time ago, I have to think that there must be a commercial product available. You could probably go to your friendly neighborhood pet store and ask them.

What about small slices of hot dogs. My dog loves it and he really pays attention to me when he thinks he's going to get a reward like that. You can also get liver bits (Petco. Petsmart, etc). They are soft and small and easy to carry. Just don't give him too much, they can cause loose stools in excess.

I buy Natural Balance dog food rolls and cut them up into little pieces. Soft, real meat, real tasty. Comes in lamb, turkey, and beef so you can change it up every now and then.
