Depending on how much he likes his food, sometimes pieces of kibble are good enough treats.
But otherwise, I agree with using small bits of cooked and/or dried meats (plain chicken breast is great), cheese, or sausage (nothing with a lot of spices or salt!). Our favorite store-bought treats are freeze-dried pure meat or organ, here, though sometimes they can be hard to break up into small bits for our small dogs.
With the tiny guys especially, remember to factor in treats to their daily food intake. I believe you can replace up to 25% of their food with treats, especially if you're using something relatively healthy like pure meat. But little dogs pack on weight fast, so just take care that he's not getting too many calories.
