Who better to give you great ideas on yummy dog treats than expert Wendy Nan Rees? Here, she shares another great recipe that your dog will love.

A Jack Russell gets a yummy treat.

During the winter months we find ourselves indoors a lot. Along with us are our loving canine companions. They, too, can sometimes find their days long and cold. What could be more fun for the whole family than making treats for Fido?

I also love to use these treats for when I am brushing or training my dogs to help give them that extra boost when I am asking anything of them. I find they do know the difference between homemade and store bought biscuits. The next time you give your dog a treat, watch him or her for their reaction. When you are ready to make homemade treats the next time, watch your dog's reaction again. I hope you will also see the excitement and the attitude change in your dog.

Here is a fun and easy cheese treat for the four-legged cheese lover in your family.

• 1 cup grated white jack cheese
• 1 cup cottage cheese
• 1 tsp olive oil
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1/2 cup wheat germ

Directions

1. Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees
2. In a large bowl, mix cheeses, Worcestershire sauce, ¼ cup wheat germ and ¼ cup sunflower seeds.
3. In a separate small bowl, mix together the remaining ¼ cup wheat germ and ¼ cup sunflower seeds.
4. Next, mix in the flour to make a soft dough.
5. Pinch off small pieces of dough, and roll them into the wheat germ and seed mixture until covered.
6. Use your finger to gently push the round ball into a tear drop shape.
7. Bake in batches for 20 minutes until golden brown.
