Lovin' From The Oven

Peanut Butter Dog Treats

1 cup dry oats

2 cups whole wheat flour

1 cup peanut butter

1 cup water

1/3 cup oil

1 egg

Mix all ingredients together until well blended. Roll dough into a ½ "- ¾" sheet. Cut out dough using dog- themed cookie cutters (bones, fire hydrants, be creative!) or whatever you have around the kitchen.

Place on a non-greased cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 12 - 15 minutes or until Golden Retriever brown. Give them a "Roll Over" halfway through and bake for 12-15 more minutes.

Kisses Guaranteed!

Puppy Love!

Such a precious puppy!

Right in the Kisser!

This is the art of kissing your best friend

Here's to wishing that this never ends

Kisses like promises that will always be...

This is the art of kissing-BEST FRIENDS!

-In Dire Need (lyrics)

How to Teach Your Best Friend to Give You A Smooch!

1.) Sit down in front of your dog or place them on your lap.

2.) Put a little peanut butter on your cheek (or lips, if you so chose).

3.) Point to the peanut butter, give the verbal cue "Kisses!" and demonstrate the hand signal, them let them lick it off.

4.) Hold a treat behind your back. Point to your cheek, say "Kisses", and give the hand signal. When they kiss or nose you, instantly mark it with "Good" and reward them with a treat.

Eventually, you can phase out the peanut butter and treats. Most dogs will learn this trick in just a few days. If you have a really shy dog, it may take a little more time.
