DOGGY POPSICLES

Doggy Popsicles-BEEF

If your dog likes ice cubes - they will love these!

1 package skinny rawhide sticks (the rolled kind)
Beef Boullion cubes
Small plastic juice cups (or if you have those nifty popsicle molds, use them instead)

Prepare the boullion according to directions. Allow to cool completely. Pour about 3 inches of liquid into juice cup (you can make them bigger or smaller depending on the size of the dog). Put in freezer - when the boullion gets really slushy, place the rawhide stick in the middle of the liquid. You want the liquid slushy enough to hold the rawhide in place. After completely frozen, pull the plastic cup off and viola! Puppy Popsicles!



FRUITY POPSICLES
Servings: 3 dozens of mini fruity Popsicles

Ingredients:

•4 cups yogurt, preferably plain favor
•1 jar baby food, any fruit flavor
•2 tablespoon of organic honey
•2 tablespoon of natural peanut butter
Methods:

1.Puree all ingredients in a food processor.
2.Pour into ice cube trays and freeze for one hour or more, depending the temperature setting.
3.Thaw just so slightly before serving.
Special notes: Although I used baby food as one of the ingredients, you may opt for homemade fruit juice instead. Just remember that homemade juices will oxidize very quickly, so you might want to consume the pops within that day of making. Do not refreeze the pops once they’re out.

On yogurt, choose plain or vanilla favor. Otherwise, your pops will have very funky taste.

NEW GROUPS STARTING

New Groups Starting!!!
Monday, July.5th at 6pm
Wednesday, July.7th at 1pm

For those of you who have let the training "Slack" a little :)

No worries! Your dog still remembers what they learned. They have just learned since then what they can get away with.

Go back to changing directions like the beginning of training. Then see how your dog listens when you give them a command. :)

That is also why we made the drop in sessions in the first place! They are free, so come out and join us. Get the training completly back in one session.
