If you have a stressed dog or work with clients that may have one, training is not the first solution. For these animals, you must get the foundation right or the lessons won’t stick. Somewhat unbelievably, considering the attention it gets in children, the role of good food in achieving normal behaviour in dogs is but a fledgling subject in dogs. In this 90min lecture, we will be covering a lot of topics, the majority of which is supported with studies of other animals. However, in all the key areas there are works in dogs that we can gain valuable insight and verification from. There is no doubt real food improves the behaviour of dogs. Here’s everything you need to know, beginning with supplements to avoid and finishing with recommended natural additions to try.

If you are currently feeding or recommending people feed, ultraprocessed “complete” pet food, or simply anyone that believes a “complete” meal is possible (do you know what that might be in humans, asides breast milk?!) then this seminar is a must-see. AAFCO set the guidelines but too few know who AAFCO are nor have interrogated these guidelines. We go through each nutrient in detail, detailing the many concerns with this approach to feeding dogs, and finish with an analysis of how well pet foods, both dry and raw are doing in terms of their “completeness” and solutions about how you might achieve balance in your own dog using real food.

The course lasts 70 minutes and costs €29.95. You will receive Chapter 19 of my book Feeding Dogs which not only includes the references used but segways into the role governments are happy to play in the debacle, focusing on the recent DCM scandal in the US. We also include slides upon beginning the course and a certificate at the end!
