The woman who ran the rescue had fostered this puppy before he came to live with us, and she gave us a very valuable tip; he's very food motivated! Training is a breeze as long as we give him little snack rewards. I bought a couple of store brand treats early on, but I wasn't impressed with the ingredients or the price.
Since I'm a DIYer, I've been testing out homemade dog biscuit recipes. The first recipe wasn't so great, but I wasn't going to give up. This morning I made a batch of these peanut butter biscuits from Dog Treat Kitchen and even though I think they're a little bland, I know what's in them and I can make up a new batch for cheap whenever we run low. Most importantly, Parker loves them! Success!
Peanut Butter Dog Biscuits
Modified from Dog Treat Kitchen
Ingredients
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup rolled oats
3 rounded tbsp peanut butter
1/2 cup hot water
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Mix all ingredients well in a large bowl. Roll out 1/4" thick on a counter top and cut to size. I used a small glass for some, marking a cross hatch pattern with the tines of a fork. For training bites I cut the dough into small rectangles with a knife.
Arrange on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 40 minutes; pull from the oven and cool before storing. Biscuits last one week at room temperature or up to three weeks in the refrigerator.
