Anxiety Wrap says...

Treat For Training!

 

Dogs will be more likely to repeat the behavior that got him the better treat, for this reason we use very good treats and require our clients to do the same while in our classes.  Homemade treats are often the tastiest to dogs plus we do not use food/treats that contain dyes.  PLEASE feed one small treat at a time and treating a dog is reserved only for rewarding the dog while he/she’s working/learning.

Autumn’s Liver Jerky Bites - The key to these ugly, but tasty, jerky bites are boiling the liver before you bake it.  Cut the treats to whatever size please you and your dog.  Once cooked, they are not easy to break into smaller pieces.  The liver will look shrunken and charred, but your dog will not mind.1-pound (2 cups) (more or less as desired) beef or chicken liver.Cut the liver into bite sized pieces.  Place in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring water to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for three minutes.  Drain the water and place pieces of liver on a baking sheet covered with greased or non-stick foil.  Bake the liver for two hours (longer if pieces are large).  Store at room temperature in a loosely covered container.
