soft treats

Gentle, yielding sweets

Soft treats are small, chewy food rewards used primarily in pet training, especially for dogs.

Unlike crunchy biscuits, their pliable texture allows quick consumption without interrupting training sessions: She keeps soft treats in her pocket for recall practice.

The term occasionally extends to similar snacks for humans, but the pet-training context dominates.
