#1 Easy Dog Treat Recipe Used by the Pros | Minneapolis, MN

 

#1 Dog training treat used by the pros

My colleagues from The Academy for Dog Trainers introduced us to the Tuna Fudge recipe to use for dog training.  It took several mentions of this dog treat recipe before we decided to make it and check it out for ourselves.  It turned out super easy to make a batch.  Not only that, it was the perfect consistency for our dog training purposes.  We also love how easy it is to baggy up portions and store in the freezer (keeping it fresh) until we are ready to use another bag.  After that first batch we were sold.  Easy to make, cut up and store, with the perfect consistency made it our number one go to for all our dog training needs.

Dog treat recipe that your dog will love

Tuna Fudge is the dog training treat I always have on hand.  In fact, to date I have only had one dog turn her nose up at it.  But then again Seri is one of the most selective dogs I’ve ever known.  It was not surprising that she had no interest in my Tuna Fudge.

Jody Karow is the founder and lead trainer at Go Anywhere Dog® in Eden Prairie, serving families across the Minneapolis metro.
