If you’re making your own dog treats, you have a lot of latitude. You can add flaxseeds to make them healthier (flaxseeds are loaded with healthy fats) and you can make them in any shape you want. You can make dog treat muffins or flat apple cinnamon bones or a meatloaf cake. You can make them for gifts, too.

There are a few ingredients you should not include in your dog treats:

1–Raisins can actually be quite harmful to your pet’s kidney system. Stay away from grapes and raisins in dog treats.

2–Chocolate is probably the best known of the doggie "no no’s" . Chocolate has an ingredient called theobromine in it and it can be really harmful to your pet. Even fatal. All kinds of problems can occur including pancreatitis. The darker the chocolate, the more harmful the chocolate.

3–Onions, too, can be harmful to your pet’s system. They have to eat of lot of them but enough onions can cause a type of anemic reaction.

On the other hand, your pet can enjoy peanut butter, liver, apples, carrots and any number of other ingredients.

If you want to make some nice doggie cookies, first you need to pick out a recipe. Then you need to gather your tools and start baking!

One dog treat recipe my dog especially likes is Pumpkin Wafers. Pumpkin is loaded with Beta carotene and anti-oxidants especially vitamins C and E. These vitamins help to lower cancer risk, cataracts and heart disease.

Pumpkin Wafers:

Directions: Preheat oven to 300 F.

Mix all ingredients together. Drop small spoonfuls ( I use the about half of a tablespoon) onto a lightly greased cookie sheet and bake at 300 degrees for 15-20 minutes.

Look, I know how it is. You buy your dog food, you take him/her for a walk every morning… You make sure the water is clean for him/her to drink… You make sure there is a warm, dry place for him/her to sleep… And how does your dog repay you? By running off when you let him/her outside maybe? Or maybe your dog makes periodical "messes" in the house? Or maybe it never fails, that every time you have company, your dog who you love SO MUCH, and do SO MUCH for, jumps up on your company! Or barks at your company, or even worse… Well, don’t get too down just yet. Lets face it, your dog has some behavior problems. But Correcting dog behavior problems may not be as hard as you thought. Perhaps you just need to be reminded of the reasons why you even "put up" with a dog in the first place.

Don’t lie to yourself. Even you cannot deny that when that floppy eared, furry, drooling dog comes lolling up to you, you can’t help but admit that you love your dog. So he has some issues, SO WHAT? Together, you can get through them. And here are a few things to remember next time your dog messes up.

Firstly, remember that your dog LIVES to please you. He wants your love, your attention, and he wants you to tell him, "good boy" when he does a good job. He doesn’t want to anger you, he only messes up because maybe he has bad habits, or maybe because he doesn’t understand what is acceptable. Don’t get angry, don’t "punish" your dog, teach your dog. Help your dog understand what is acceptable, so that he can be the well behaved, best four-legged friend that you and he both want him to be.
