1/2 cup oatmeal

 

Directions:

• In a medium bowl, mix the flour, baking powder and oatmeal. Then add the peanut butter and milk. Stir it together until a dough forms.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, knead and roll out to a 1/4″ thick. Break out your cute bone-shaped cookie cutters or a pizza cutter and cut the dough into the desired sizes and shapes.
• Bake about 20 minutes or until golden brown.
• Once cool, let your favorite pup enjoy before storing them in an airtight jar (or resealable freezer bag).
• These treats will last a few days at room temperature or in the refrigerator. To keep longer, freeze.

The right clicker training treats for your dog are an important part of successful clicker training techniques. It is important to remember that treats need to be broken into very small, pea-sized pieces for clicker training to keep your dog's calorie count in line.
