My dogs loved the Natural Balance Roll, and the Zuke's Mini Natural went over pretty well too, but not as well as the Zuke's Mini Naturals. Liver Treats worked really well, but I see she doesn't like that. I have used hot dogs and beef jerky as well, but you may not want to do that. Max likes little pieces of raw chicken too. He goes absolutely nuts for that, or for chicken wings, which would not be ideal for training.
Also, just a few other little notes... if you make sure she's hungry before you go to school, you may have more sucess with getting her to enjoy her treats. If you're feeding her shortly before you go, she won't be very hungry for her treats. It might be better to feed her after class, or to feed earlier, and/or less. I've also found that Max liked treats better if they came from my mouth. I don't mean you should put dog treats in your mouth, if you are going to do this, use treats that you wouldn't mind having in your mouth. Max goes nuts anything out of my mouth. We've used fruits, vegetables, beef jerky, and in times when I needed to keep him focused on me so that he didn't notice other things going on, I used what I had, which has included cookies, and around christmas time, I remember giving him candy canes, which I was eating obsessively. Since then i've been much better about carrying dog treats, so he hasn't had too much stuff of mine recently.
