A whole nut can be a super rewarding treat for a big task or breakthrough. Otherwise, I crack them and break off tiny pieces to use for each treat. This is by far the most convenient treat for me because I can break off whatever size I want to use as the training progresses and it leaves no mess as they swallow it all. Seeds and other things are convenient but more time consuming and messy.
