I remember when I was 6 years old in 1960 asking my parents if we could get a dog. I didn’t hear a thing from them until about a week later when my Dad returned home with a full grown male German shepherd named Duke. Now that was a strong move to the hoop when you’re 6!
Training your dog to have a respectful & strong food drive is a foundational behavior EVERY dog owner should master.
