Sometimes the only way to get your dog to behave is old-fashioned bribery. When it comes to teaching
an old dog new tricks, or getting a new dog to learn any tricks, positive reinforcement using praise and
treats is the best way to quickly teach your pup what you want from them. Sure, you can use store-
bought treats to reward your dog, but there are also some simple homemade treats that are sure you
keep your pet’s tail wagging this fall. Looking for some cooking inspiration? Here are some recipes for
tasty, healthy treats you can make for your dog.

Apple Treats

Fall is a great time for us two-legged folks to go apple picking, so why not use some of those fresh apples

vegetable oil, brown sugar, and water, this apple dog treat recipe will be good enough for humans and
dogs alike.

Bacon-flavored Biscuits

Does your dog have a preference for meat instead of fall fruits and veggies? For those carnivorous
canines, consider serving up some bacon-flavored dog biscuits. This is a perfect treat to create after
serving up a big breakfast for those human members of your family. First, preheat your oven to 350

salt, and 10 tablespoons of bacon fat into a large bowl. Gradually stir in 5 cups of whole wheat flour,
creating a stiff dough. Pinch off pieces of dough to roll into 2-inch balls. [Read more…]
