Silly question time :clown: I want to make some liver treats for dog training purposes and wondered if there were any types which were more suitable than others? By that I mean chicken, lamb, pig etc. which do most dogs prefer?

Also, when I cook them to dry them out do I cut them up first and how long do I cook them for? I know this has been posted before but I can't find it!

I always use lambs liver.

I chuck it in the blender,which makes me feel really :x & the smell of it turns my stomach over (w00t)

Then i add 2 eggs & enough wholemeal flour to make it into a disgusting thick gloop.Sometimes i chuck parsley & garlic in as well.

I put it onto greaseproof paper on a flat tray & pop it into the oven for about half an hour,or until it is well set

When it's cooled off,i cut it into chunks,bag it up & put in freezer.

I do mine so it still has some moisture in it & the dogs go crazy for it :thumbsup:

Thanks for the recipe can this stuff be cooked so its dry enough to put in my pocket? Well I'm going to make some anyway and see what the doggies think to my culinary skills. I made them some cheese biscuits once but after trying one I ended up eating most because they were gorgeous :lol: don't think Ill be trying the liver ones though :teehee:

I make liver cake for treats. Chloe loved it when she was doing her Good Citizen Dog Scheme awards.

Liver can be bought in 1lb packs from the supermarket. I usually go for the stronger, smellier liver, Ox or Pig. Blend it in the blender with two large eggs and several cloves of crushed garlic. Then put it in a bowl and mix in about a 1lb of flour (use plain or the thing will take over your microwave!). You can add in milk or water if the mixture is a bit dry or don't put in as much flour.

I then put it in a microwaveable dish (normally split into a couple of dishes). Cook in Microwave on full power for about 10 minutes until it appears to be hardening off (not too hard).

Once it has cooled it is dry enough to keep in your pocket. I freeze it as the recipe makes a big batch and i always find it's harder and dryer after coming out of the freezer. :thumbsup:

How  much liver to 2 eggs please??!! ) Gather you use enough flour to make a thick paste?I just buy a pack from the supermarket,& yes,just keep adding the flour until it's a real thick gloop!

One useful tip,once you've blended the liver & eggs :x , pour it into a large bowl before adding the flour,otherwise you'll have one hell of a job cleaning out the blender (w00t)
