Doggone Good Dog Treat Cookbook for Kids
$9.99
We believe that good dog’s need to eat a healthy diet and have exciting treats to eat when you’re working on reward based dog training exercises. That’s why we wrote the Doggone Good Dog Treat Cookbook for Kids, filled with natural recipes for your dog. There’s no wheat or corn in our recipes, and all the ingredients are human edible! (You can test them out, but you might not be quite as excited about them as your dog.) 24 pages in all with adorable illustrations by our cofounder, Kim Merritt-Butler. Cookbook is spiral bound on heavy stock and measures 5.5″ x 8.5.”

The small stuff
Made to go with something bigger
Nobody learns to read a dog from one lesson. The things on this shelf are the ones that come after it — a workbook to fill in, treats to bake, a patch to hand out at the end of a session. Small, cheap, and the reason a child is still thinking about dogs a week later.
None of them needs the bigger program to make sense. All of them are better with it.

FAQ
Questions about the small stuff
Is this a download or does it get mailed?
It depends on the item, and the product details above say which. Printed things are mailed from Chapel Hill, North Carolina and ship in 2–3 business days. Downloads are available right after checkout and stay in your account.
Do I need the bigger program to use this?
No. Every one of these works on its own. They’re built to slot into the curricula and games if you have them, and they still make sense if you don’t.
Can I print more copies of a download?
Yes — print as many as your own family, classroom or classes need. They aren’t licensed for reselling or for passing the files on outside your own group.
Do you ship outside the US?
Get in touch before you order and we’ll work out postage. Contact us.
I need these for a whole troop or class.
Tell us how many and we’ll quote you. Get in touch.
What age are these for?
Broadly 5 to 12, with an adult alongside. The workbooks skew younger, the treat recipes work for anyone old enough to be in a kitchen, and the Girl Scout patches go with whichever SAFE edition you’re running.
