Knick Knack Paddy Whack, These Dogs Deserve A Bone

The Ledyard Dog Scout Troop #188 hosted a couple of day-long workshops that taught dogs agility and obedience skills but it also taught people how to teach their pets new tricks.

Workshop participants learned how to teach their dogs the small, sequential steps required for a desired behavior and the dogs learned that if they listen to the commands, they'll get a tasty treat.

Sheri Throop, one of the group's leaders, shared a recipe for the most coveted dog treat on a hot day:
