Best treats for dogs - not liver cake !

[Avantia]

I say not liver cake because I couldn't bear to make it .

My lab loves cheese but need something at times to entice her even more - do you give sausage , hot dog or what other goodies have you found that your dog loves . ?

[Avantia]

Do you have to cook the tinned hot dog sausgaes first before freezing ?

There's a tuna cake recipe that my lab loves, not sure if this one is exactly the same, but looks like it:

Ingedients:
2 small tins of tuna (in sunflower oil, do not drain)
100g wholemeal flour (although any type works)
1 egg
2 cloves of garlic

Directions:
Mix all ingredients together. Spread evenly onto a baking tray (preferably one lined with greaseproof paper for ease)
Score with a knife pre cooking (as it's quite crunchy to cut afterwards)

UPDATE:
If you want to make pretty bone shaped biccies or whatever just keep adding more flour until you get a dough texture, then roll out and cut. Tastes just as yummy apparently.

Cook for 30 - 40 minutes at 180c

Tuna sounds good, I could cope with cooking that !

slice up hotdogs and stick them under grill. they go hard and chewy.
cheese is a winner in this house though esp a tube of primula with prawns

[Avantia]

primula with prawns ! My two children would love that let alone the dog !

I use the hotdogs from pets at home, £2 for 5/6 sausages, chop them into thin slices, my Beagle is learning fast using these, training is coming on really well.

Haven't used ones for humans as I was worried they weren't suitable, was worried about salt content etc, but they may well be totally fine.

great ideas here.
been invited to garden party (for royal wedding) and asked to take a dish. hosts have two gorgeous staffies and will make the tuna dish for them. well they didnt specify dish for human consumption

Beware of the sausages... I was working on whistletraining woofbags for recall... guy at the park blew his whistle for his two to come, with sausages on offer as a reward - he acquired an extra scruffy mongrel along with his two pedigrees with a huge grin on his face in a "you blew the whistle, I came - hand them over now matey" way.

Butchers block or raw mince.

Emptyshell - I always have a following of other peoples dogs at the park, I am begining to think I should be know as the Dog Lady!

I am not the tallest of people so my waist is the height of some big dogs heads - just the right height to get a nose in my treat bag! It's amazing how many people's dogs will walk to heal with me round the park!

My Beagle is never impressed at the theives trying to steal her sausages, so jumps up me to try and get in there first!

I just get a pack of Rewards from the supermarket - half an inch seems to do it! Is that bad?
