Cook it by steaming or boiling. Let it cool. Slice it and then dice it into about 1/4 inch cubes. Put in small baggies and freeze. Its low fat, healthy, not overly rich like liver, and clean. Beef heart is a lean muscle meat and tastes similar to roast beef. Its not the size of the treat that is important to the dog, its the flavour reward. The small size also allows you to treat frequently for good behaviour without filling up the dog. ..........
X10 on the beef heart! Just ask your butcher at any store to get you the full beef heart fresh.
I used to feed my Great Danes this prepared like you said and added it to their dog food. Even the pickiest eater will then eat. Used as bait in the ring and stand back!
Not to mention when used for bait your pockets on your suit coat don't get all scummy like from liver! :W:B
