Contacts #3 - Salmon Brownies!

Bungee's Favorite Treats!

Salmon Brownies - pictured cut & ready to feed.
It takes longer to cut them than make them! EASY Recipe below.


Why do I like these treats best for training Bungee contacts?
Because she loves them and they seem to dissolve in her mouth instantly! They hold up nicely in my hand for using them in training too.

You may have to know Bungee to appreciate what a slow, slow, SLOW eater she is. She can chew a single kibble longer than any dog I've ever known. These brownies seem to melt in her mouth so fast, we can make great transitions to tugging for a stress-break and/or release off the contact.

The Recipe:

Salmon Spelt Brownies - Bungee-style

Ingredients:
1 Large Can Salmon (400-450 gm. or 14-16 oz.)
2-3 Cloves of garlic (peeled & diced fine)
1.5 - 2 Cups Whole Organic Spelt Flour (any whole wheat flour will do)*
Parmesan Cheese for a topping - optional

Instructions:
Peel & dice garlic fine or peel garlic and dice in food processor.
Add salmon (entire can including liquid) & food process.
Add spelt flour to food processor & mix that all up.
Spread the batter on a lightly oiled cookie sheet.
Sprinkle the batter with parmesan cheese if preferred.
Bake at 350 F. or 176 C. for 10 - 15 minutes.

If you want them to melt in your dog's mouth a little softer is better, (baked about 12 min.?) they will still hold together nicely in your hand in training.

Pictured below what I use to make them: food processor, cookie sheet, oil & brush to spread on cookie sheet, spoons to spread brownies, organic spelt flour, canned salmon (more shown than needed for 1 batch) & parmesan cheese



It may surprise you when the batter winds up looking like this big lump inside your food processor, but keep going, that's just right.



*I have also made them with organic chick pea flour and "Canine Life" formula base (click on this link to read more about this food). But any regular flour of your choice would probably work.

Here's a finished batch with parmesan topping:


The DH adds his tip: cut them with a pizza slicer! A knife works just fine too.


I take them to class in a little plastic container. I toss them in the freezer in between classes or training sessions.


From Bungee's house to yours, Enjoy!

Happy Training! ~ It's About Love!
