Homemade Dog Treats

Dog treats are horrible for your dogs. I've been trying to become a dog trainer and for dog owners out there, I've got a picky dog. He hates ALL his training treats, so here is a healthy dog treat for picky dogs.
2 cups of whole wheat flour (I used King Arthur)
Peanut Butter (I didn't measure, I estimated)
1 tablespoon of Vanilla Extract
1 cup of water
Turn you oven on 350 degrees, mix I ingredients in a bowl and roll dough into ball and squish into small rounds on pan. Put in oven on 8 minute intervals (in total I did 16 minutes) until they are hard but still just a little hard. Enjoy!

Arnica Gel or the plant itself

I don't know who has heard of Arnica, but it can work miracles. Some friends of mines son broke his leg and couldn't do anything for 6 week, but the lady put Arnica on her sons leg and it healed in 3 weeks. Arnica can be very toxic if swallowed, so try to do some research online before use. But, to avoid having to order the plant from a herbal store which could cost a lot, you can get Arnica gel. The gel works very well, but still toxic, so try to avoid letting children have it. Or, it depends where you live, you can go pick it out of your yard and make a tincture out of it. arnica_montana The Arnica Plant
Like the Plantain Tincture, you just combine the Arnica and Alcohol together and let it sit for 6 weeks (Make sure to label the Mason Jar of the day you made it to the day it is done). Well, I hope this was useful!
