If you use dry food, you can use the individual pieces as rewards during training. Some dogs think it is special just because it is from your hand.
Our trainer was a vegetarian, so she fed her dogs lots of veggies. This was her favorite training treat for her dogs.
We use treats that are made by the company that makes the dog food that we use. We break the treats up into tiny pieces. We alternate between the dry food pieces and treats during a class.
Ask your vet what he or she recommends for you to use during training. Is there a medical reason for the no additional meat rule? I don't think that people who train with meat usually use big enough pieces that they add up to a significant amount of meat consumed during a training session.
A foodless option is using the clicker, though I think people introduce it initially using food. We did.

It is my decision. She suggested training. I attended a few classes.
The training seemed to be more geared toward larger dogs.
I did meet another participant who was very knowledgeable--concurred with what you said.
If responds to the praise all the better.My female is that way and will not take a treat good loving and praise can do wonders. I have tried dehydrated lamb lung and they not especially care for that. My stud likes the toy and/or treats. Each dog responds differently. I got a friend who uses a tennis ball as treat and only time gets it is training not for anything else and they associate the ball with good job and the praise.
