Since it is obvious that you do not have a clue about obedience training, your services should be for free. You cannot train even an adult dog for 8 hours a day. About the most that can be done at any one time is 10 - 20 minutes and that is with an adult dog and not a puppy. The attention span on this baby is extremely short and training session should be no more than 10 minutes and twice a day. Additionally, there isn't going to be much learned if you will only be training for 5 days. Obedience training is cumulative and is done over a much longer period of at least several weeks to several months.
What you can charge is determined by your experience, reputation, and accomplishments and in a case like this, should also include guaranteed expectations. Just working with dogs over several years, is not the experience that is necessary to be a dog trainer. There are too many people who are putting that title to their name and fleecing the public. Don't be one of them.

Answer 4

Too much protein is not so good for the domesticated dog, they are not like cats.
BARF and naturediet are the best way if you want to do that. Just be warned that its easy to be carried away, I have recently got caught up into feeding raw. My dog was ill for a week, the 'expert' kept saying that his stomach would adjust that he was sick because of something else etc, put him back on dry complete food and bingo! cured of sickness overnight.

These natural diets are not for all dogs, they take alot of preparation too. Its not a case of buying some raw meat at the store taking it home and chucking in the food bowl. They will need x amount of grains, cereals, etc such as rice. Its not all about raw meaty bones either :)

Saying that, alot of dogs do take to it so the choice is yours. Dog food manufactorors may play on owner guilt (I dont feel guilty about what I feed my dog...) but you will find that naturediet and BARF diet folks do just as good a job.

My babes breeder went spare when I told her what had happened :) lol she has been showing and working dogs successfully for 30 years, she feeds hers on Pedigree Chum Performance :)

Go figure... :p

Choice is yours..dog will be happy as long as he gets good quality food from either camp and his stomach can cope with it :)

Good luck whichever diet you choose :)

Hi there - mince or steak on it's own is not so good - I feed my dogs raw food but it is balanced - and by balanced I mean the ratio of meat to bone - I try to make up a "prey animal" for them - ie they have all the organs of the body - plus bone and meat - the digestive tract of the dog is far shorter than the human digestive tract to deal with raw meat - it is their natural food.
My dogs do really well on their natural food but it is important to get as much info as possible to learn how to do it properly.

The commercial dog foods contain many things that are not natural to a dog - there is little actual meat in commercial dog foods - they bulk it out with grain (not a food for dogs and it caused many allergies) and all sorts of unsuitable things. If you check on the Internet you will be disgusted by what a number of commercial dog foods contain (containing road kill animals and even some of our euthanized pets - how gross is that!)

My dogs have lovely white teeth through cracking up the bones in chicken (uncooked bones only as they turn brittle through being cooked and then become dangerous.) Large weight bearing bones are unsuitable as they can break teeth.

I buy in bulk and freeze the meat - it costs much less to feed raw - I recommend to join a group to learn more about this topic though - type in raw and dog in your Internet browser - there will be some good groups come up and they will help you with ideas.
Best wishes

Answer 6

Dogs thrive on the same diet, day in day out, because they have bacteria in their guts that digest food. Different foods need different bacteria to digest them. So pick a suitable diet and stick with it.
Is there any particular reason you want to feed your dog raw meat? Theres a myth among dog handlers that it'll make your dog 'sharper' or better at catching burglars. It won't
A pet dog can't exist on just pure raw steak any more than a wild dog; wild dogs also eat the half digested stomach contents of their prey, contents of the intestines, bones and bone marrow and offal.
Either use the BARF diet under supervision from your vet until you get the hang of it, or stick to a conventional diet.
Tinned Butchers Tripe and plain biscuit with some cooked dark green leafy veg and cookedcarrot is ideal for most dogs.

Answer 7

I'm so glad you asked.

In the wild, a dog would not eat the cuts of meat that we do - the steaks and roasts. Those kinds of meat are inefficient for a dog to consume in terms of nutritional value versus bulk in stomach.

A dog in its natural state would ignore the rump roasts and go for the offal, innards, bones, and joints, because they are the most highly nutritious parts of the animal. However, to get to those parts, the dog would have to chew through fur, skin, bone, etc.

So we can see using the natural dog as an ideal that the best diet for a dog in terms of raw meat would consist of occasional meals of offal - say once per week, meat scraps and the offcuts whenever you are cooking your own dinner, and one or two raw split marrow bones each week, supplemented by a preservative-free dry dog biscuit once per day, or every second day. Feeding your dog steaks and mince is inappropriate and does your dog no favours.

Answer 8

My understanding is yes.There are plenty of books on the subject.According to some of those books out there it is the best thing you could feed your dog bone and all.As long as its all raw its ok.They even go as far as saying that your pet could live longer and better, not even needing shots and boosters.Now remember I got this info from a few books.That does not mean don't take it to the vet for shots.It makes sense dogs in Africa hunt prey.

Answer 9

You can't just go out and buy raw meat and throw it in your dogs' bowls. Dogs need a complex variety of nutrients, so if you're planning on feeding a "raw" diet, you have to do a LOT of research to determine the optimal variety of meats/starches/veggies that they will need. It won't make a bit of difference as to the shedding, unless you're currently feeding your dogs such a poor diet that they're losing hair that they otherwise wouldn't. (I'm sure you're not, since you care enuf to ask! :-) ) I have an Aussie, and he sheds heavily twice a year, as all Aussies do. I brush him once a week and it prevents all the "fur-prises" from ending up on the carpet and hardwood. Not a big deal. He gets 50/50 Iams/Eukanuba, and his coat his shiny and full, and he's full of energy and in great health. I also have a 12-year-old Brittany who gets 50/50 Iams/Eukanuba (Senior formulas), and she is in fine health too..
