How To Make Your Own Dog Treats on Howcast

Show your four-legged friend you care by cooking up some homemade treats.
To complete this How-To you will need:
4 bacon slices
2 lb. whole wheat flour
1/2 c. cold water
1 egg
1/2 c. milk
1 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 c. bacon fat
A frying pan
Paper towels
A rolling pin
A cookie sheet
Cooking spray

Step 1: Fry the bacon

Place the bacon strips side-by-side in the frying pan and fry on medium heat until crispy. Drain on two paper towels on top of a plate, and reserve the fat.

Tip: While frying the bacon, preheat the oven to 325 degrees.

Step 2: Mix the flour

Pour 3 cups of wheat flour into a bowl, add the water, and stir with a spoon. Add the egg, milk, and garlic powder, mixing thoroughly until the batter is thick and sticky.

Step 3: Add bacon and bacon fat

Crumble the bacon strips into small pieces and add them plus 1/4 cup of reserved bacon fat to the mixture. Stir well.

Step 4: Roll the dough

Spread a handful of whole wheat flour on the kitchen table or counter. Roll the dough flat until it's ½-inch thick.

Step 5: Cut up the dough

Grease the cookie sheet with the cooking spray. Slice the dough into small, "begging sized" strips and place them on the cookie sheet.

Step 6: Bake and cool

Bake in the oven for approximately 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool and use as a training treat or a reward for being a good dog.

Several of the training techniques present a refreshingly common-sense, down-to-earth approach to dog training; others require a little more effort (take dog whispering as an example) but yield some pretty dramatic results. I liked the way that more than one training technique is detailed, to allow the reader to pick and choose the techniques that best suit themselves and their individual dogs.

I have no qualms in recommending this package to anyone who owns, or is thinking about owning, a dog. You don’t need to have a “problem pet” for the manual to be of assistance: there’s information included that’ll be useful to any and all dog owners.

In a nutshell: highly recommended.
