It’s hard with young dogs. I understand the risk of pathogens and whatnot, (remember Pearl gave herself acute pancreatitis by eating offal from someone’s fish gut pile) but there is risk mitigation and there is the underlying tenet that the more rare we make something, the more desirable it becomes, and no more so than to a dog with a nose thousands of times superior to ours.

It is relatively easy for a dog to learn what he can ‘bank’ on, that directly opposes the survival instinct to constantly hustle for food, simply because we make survival so much easier for them. We don’t have to wrestle them for stugg. We just have to offer better options. Make sense?
