The definitive training teat
This dog treat can’t be beat. This is what I use for treats when I’m walking all my dogs and there is a huge difference to how the pups respond to these homemade treats for dogs compared processed shop-bought stuff and if you do this you will see why they’re the best dog training treats you can get! It’s very cheap to buy liver from your local supermarket or butcher (much cheaper than branded treats and a whole lot better for your dog). I’ve never known treats to go down so well with dogs. I cannot emphasize enough how much your dog will love these, dogs that wouldn’t respond well before suddenly come running for dried liver . They are ideal for training and to get the attention of your dog and get control back when you are outside.
Cleaning the oven tray can be a pain after drying liver so cover with tin foil or use disposable foil trays. Dried liver is gorgeous and has a nice smell, I even like eating it but it can make your clothes smell if you carry it in them so use a treat bag
Get yourself a treat bag and you’re good to go!
INGREDIENTS
A packet of liver (any liver will do).
METHOD
Get yourself some liver. Any liver will do.
Rinse the blood of the liver
Wrap a baking tray in kitchen foil.
Lay your liver on the tray. Preheat your oven to 120c (250f/Gas mark 1). Cook for 1½ - 2 hrs or until fully dry.
Two hours later and this is it now dried. There is no juices in the tray and liver is dry inside and out..
Cut into little squares and fridge what you will use in a few days and freeze the rest. See now why we're using kitchen foil?
I rescued a dog 3 weeks ago and she loves liver. Its the only treat outside the house she pays attention to me for!
Brilliant idea and great high value training treats. Really cheap to buy liver but so expensive to buy ready made liver treats. Made with lamb and chicken liver so far and 7 month old puppy loves them. Got a batch in the oven now and she is going mad because of the smell!!
My daughter got me onto this we have a 9 week old German Shepard we where buying the dried liver treats but at $12 to $14 an average bag this is a awesome treat for our pup we try not to give him to much as you can see when he poops it’s very richly looking.
Also I’m finding when cooked I’ll try to dry it out on a plate for a few hours then bag it then put it in the fridge I find it sticky should I put the plate in the liver in the fridge not bagged would it dry better thx.
Yeah it is a bit sticky, that’s why a treat bag is a must. Also liver is a natural laxative so just little amounts while pup so young.
