Work for Food

We all love our dogs, there is no denying that! Whether you choose to have them work for their food or not work for their food that is not an indication of your love for your dog.

BUT if you do have the idea that making a dog work for his food is cruel, then perhaps you need to continue reading on.

Studies show that animals actually prefer to work for their food. It gives them a sense of control over how and when they receive their food. In their mind, they are getting you to give them food based on which actions they choose to perform. To us humans, we can see there really is no difference but to a dog there is.

If you’d like to learn more about this study and why having a dog work for their food is beneficial, please visit my post from January 17th titled “Why my dogs work for their food”.

Do you have your dogs work for their food? Let me know in the comments!!!!
