RECIPE FOR CLICKER TREAT

 

It is important to select a treat for clicker training that is both palatable and quickly eaten. I started training with normal dog treats you would buy from a pet store, but these are too hard and took too long to swallow. I also was reluctant to pay the high price asked for commercial clicker treats.

The following recipe was given to me by a very good friend and fellow dog trainer and I thank him for that, as soon as I started to use this treat my clicker training took off and I have not looked back.

INGREDIENTS

1 lb. Liver

1 lb. Flour

2 eggs

2 Cloves of garlic

 

1. The ingredients need to be well blended together, if available use an electric blender. The mixture should resemble a pate consistency.

2. Grease a microwave proof dish and place in the mixture ensure that the dish is big enough to allow a couple of inches expansion.

3. Microwave on full power for 15 minutes. WARNING it is best done in the garage, outhouse, or garden; the smell is not pleasant!

4. Allow to cool completely, then remove from dish and cut into small cubes, size depends on your dog. For a medium-large size dog I use approximately 1cm squares.

The treat will keep for several days in the fridge in an airtight container or as I tend to make a bulk amount I divide into smaller bags and freeze until required.
