Olivia is making simple homemade dog training treats today. She loves to eat, so cooking is an activity that is in her dog house. Since she is pretty young to cook on her own, Bailie, who also loves to eat, is helping her out. Laurel and Hardy are going to attempt to make some treats.
With all our sports and a puppy in the house, we go through training treats like crazy! To keep costs down, and feed us healthy treats, Mom started buying thinly sliced chicken, pork, or beef. A package costs around five dollars and will provide training treats for us for about a week. Besides the meat, you need a knife, cutting board, and a frying pan.
Madison is too young to be using knives, so Bailie diced up the meat of choice this week, chicken. She cut each breast into about half inch pieces. The chicken cooks faster, and we find it easier to dice it before cooking. One great thing about the meat pieces is they can be pulled apart into super tiny pieces for training.
Next, Bailie put the chicken in the frying pan, and cooked it all up. Olivia is too little to work with the stove too, but Bailie doesn’t mind helping her out. The small pieces cook up quickly.
Olivia sniffed her way back to the kitchen for the taste testing. She loves the chicken. It’s super simple to make, and the whole process for the package of chicken was under half an hour. We freeze the pieces in portions to keep them fresh. Emma made some good lamb treats a couple years ago. They were also really yummy! Would you make these simple homemade dog training treats for your pup?
We’re thankful for good treats, so we’re joining joining the Brian’s Home Blog Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
Such smart doggies to make your own treats. I just love the pictures of all of you. You have a terrific Thursday.
Thank you. They are simple, but good.
What darling little chefs you are!
We are just learning to cook.
You girls look adorable in your French chef’s hats! My mom COULD bake treats for me but she doesn’t. I need to work on her.
With three of us and all our sports training and competitions we need tons of treats, so these work really well.
YAY! We have doggie cooks in the kitchen! I would love those treats. XOXO, Sparkle
They are real basic, but we love real meat of any kind.
What channel and what time is your Cooking Show on? Trust you have a clean-up crew behind the scenes … oh, and was it
the “name” of your show, we’re sure it is something quite clever …
Well, we clean the kitchen ourselves, it is kind of a reward for cooking. Our sister Emma was the Julia Childs at our house, but since she passed away, no one has attempted to cook until now. We’ll see if we can learn.
You two sure did a darn good job cooking up the yum! Thanks for joining the Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
You kitties could eat our treats too because they are meat.
Olivias eyes!! oh so cuuute!!! you are the bestest chefs that’s for sure!!!
Olivia has some pretty funny expressions.
My Alex isn’t interested in cooking – just eating!! You gals look great in your chefs hat!
Mom says if you love to eat, you need to learn to cook, so we are giving it a whirl.
Laurel and Hardy indeed! priceless photo of Olivia sampling the end product!! We need to make some of these!
It is super easy, and meat is always a good thing.
Mom has some chicken to make some treats like this!!! The look on your face says how much you love those treats!
We love them all, pork, beef, chicken, bring on the meat!
nice!
Great job, Olivia. You’re most talented.
Have a woof woof day. My best to your siblings and your peeps. ♥
Once Olivia is a bit older, we think she may be a pretty good hound in the kitchen.
Wow!! We think we would eat those every day! They look delicious…and so easy even our Mama can make them!
xoxo,
Rosy, Jakey & Arty
If Bailie and Olivia can do it, anyone can. One ingredient, just don’t cut yourself or burn the meat!
It is so good to see your sisters following in Emma’s footsteps in the kitchen! While I make a lot of homemade treats, I haven’t made any especially for training, but I should and these sound great!
Olivia will probably be the chef, but since she is too young to do a lot of things, Bailie is helping her out. These are great because Mom can really tear the pieces into smaller ones when we are training.
Those look like just what the vet ordered!
Can’t go wrong with meat, right?
Making treats is fun for everyone and you are doing grrrr-eat! We mainly get boiled chicken for treats because of Pierre’s tummy issues. Sigh…Bentley
I guess boiled chicken would be similar to our chicken treats. We like them, but we also get pork and beef for variety.
i think Emma would be so proud of you girls.
We’ll never be as great as Emma in the kitchen, but we will see what we can learn to do.
That is easy and nummy. Good idea!!!
Sometimes the simplest stuff is the best stuff.
