At yesterday's Kennel Club Good Citizen classes the focus was on reward, on what exactly it is your dog LOVES! It's important for us to be specific about what rewards we're using so that we can get the best responses from our dogs, and improve our training communications. Here's the recipe for the delicious liver cake that I'd made for everyone to try out last night - it made the majority of the dogs top two, and for most their number one! :)
LIVER CAKE
Ingredients
250g Liver
125g Plain flour
1 Crushed garlic clove
1 Small egg
Method
Firstly pop the liver into a food processor and blend until relatively smooth. Then add the remainder of the ingredients and mix well.
Place about 1 tbsp of mixture into well greased patty tins (those used for Yorkshire puddings/ holding fairy cake cases) – you should make 12 cakes with this recipe.
Cook on 180 degrees (fan oven) for about 5 – 10 minutes until firm.
Your liver cakes need to be used within about 2-3 days, or placed in the freezer for use at a later stage.
Today, like most days I'm grateful for my lovely Ella who is the most dedicated work companion at my training classes :)

Garlic is toxic for dogs and really shouldn’t be used!
Thanks for commenting Kerry. I agree Garlic is definitely toxic in large quantities (e.g. a dog getting hold of a clove/ bunch of garlic cloves), but I have used this recipe for 15 + years now, alongside many other dog training friends and never had a problem. I think, as with most things it’s about being sensible and using things in moderation.
However you could very easily use this recipe without the garlic and I’m sure you’d still achieve great results 🙂
Small amounts of garlic are fine. In fact they help deter fleas. Always make liver cake like this as my dogs love it.
Is it OK to add the garlic in for puppies? Or actually are all these recipes suitable for puppies? I love making home made treats, my staffordshire bull terrier is 4.5 months old. Thanks ☺️
I use these recipes with my puppies, but I would suggest just using a small amount to make sure that nothing upsets their tummies before using regularly 🙂
