      Separate the doggy biscuit dough into six even parts and roll each part into a cylindrical "log" shape. Wrap these six pieces in wax paper and place in the freezer. The dough will store in the freezer for approximately two months. Bake each section as needed.

      Remove one roll from the freezer and fully thaw. Cut the dough into half-inch squares. You may choose to simply bake the treats as squares, or you can shape them into doggy bones or holiday specific shapes. Preheat the oven to approximately 375 F. Place the dough on a cookie sheet, evenly spaced between each slice.
