Expert Dog Trainers Endorse Nutriment Gourmet Slices

Expert Dog Trainers Endorse Nutriment Gourmet Slices

Over a focused trial period, our UK-wide community of professional dog trainers and dog professionals at The Dog Trainer School (TDTS) independently tested Nutriment Gourmet Slices with real dogs, in real training and home environments.

Nutriment Gourmet Slices

Dogs in the trial included fussy eaters, seniors, and a variety of breeds. We wanted to understand how these treats performed as a high-value reward in everyday, real-world use, not just in theory, but in muddy fields, training halls and busy households.

The Dog Trainer School Recommended Product Initiative

The TDTS Recommended Product mark is an independent seal of approval for products that genuinely work in real-world conditions. Products are tested by professional trainers across the UK and assessed against clear criteria, including:

• Ease of use and practicality

• Welfare alignment

• Dog enjoyment and engagement

• Value for money

• Likelihood of being recommended to clients

Co-founder Helen Wainwright brings an evidence-led approach shaped by her previous experience testing products for Good Housekeeping Magazine: adapted for real dogs, real trainers and real-life conditions.

Nutriment Gourmet Slices: High-Value Rewards That Deliver

Across the trial, Gourmet Slices were consistently rated as highly palatable, easy to use and strongly motivating, including for dogs described as fussy or selective. Trainers reported excellent engagement when used during training, recall work and enrichment, often noting that the slices held higher value than comparable products already in use.

Professionals particularly valued the ready-prepared format, highlighting how easy the slices were to handle, break into smaller pieces, and use cleanly in pockets or treat pouches without mess.

Feedback from TDTS members included:

“Easy-to-use training treats that the pups found higher value than other named brands.” — Tom Scantlebury, Pup Pups Dog Training

“The perfect training treat — soft, tasty and seriously motivating.” — Carrie Senior, Carrie’s Canines

Our Take

Nutriment Gourmet Slices performed exactly as professional trainers need a reward to perform: reliable, motivating and practical. With strong dog engagement and consistent trainer confidence, they are a solid high-value option for training, recall and enrichment work.

We’re pleased to award Nutriment Gourmet Slices the Dog Trainer School Recommended Product seal.
