Benefits of feeding novel proteins, fur treats & whole prey:
✨ fur and feathers promote gut health and are a great source of fibre and manganese, which is vital to the development and maintenance of healthy ligaments
✨ feeding novel proteins like beaver, kangaroo, and frog provides different essential nutrients, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals, ensuring nutritional variety that is crucial for overall health and well-being
✨ treats like duck feet are natural sources of glucosamine and chondroitin, which support joint health and can help prevent conditions like arthritis
✨ treats that require chewing promote dental health by reducing plaque and tartar buildup and can help strengthen your dog’s jaw muscles and gums
✨ eating whole prey engages your dog’s natural hunting instincts and provides mental stimulation, offering a more enriching feeding experience
✨ rotating proteins can help with allergy management and prevent new food sensitivities from developing
✨ treats like rabbit feet and duck heads are a part of the natural diet of wild canids like wolves; feeding them to your dog can mimic the diet they would consume in the wild, providing a more species-appropriate meal

Accio-ing Dobby through the years 🪄
Dobby’s recall has always been good, but we continue to practice every chance we get. Dobby gets to enjoy offleash privileges at designated parks, trails, beaches, and even my office because we continuously work on a reliable recall.
Tips for training a reliable recall:
🪄 Start early! Accio (the summoning charm, aka our recall word) was the first spell we taught Dobby and his third cue overall after learning his name and sit.
🪄 Use high value treats to teach your dog that coming to you when their recall word is used means a delicious reward. We love using freeze dried cheese or salmon treats!
🪄 Start off easy and work up to more difficult situations. We practiced a ton at home before graduating to practicing outside on a long line, and eventually to offleash areas with other dogs and people.
🪄 Practice often and practice in different environments. Even though Dobby knows this command well, we still practice every week. We love incorporating recall training into fetch sessions since the ball is extremely high value for Dobby.
🪄 Always reward for recall! After your dog knows the command, never stop making it fun for them to come to you even in the most distracting environments!
