Food Choice

Pro Plan Salmon & Rice isn't just a food we recommend — it's a practical tool for training. We use it because it's effective, nutritious, and highly motivating for dogs.

Key Benefits:

High-Value Without High Sugar
Unlike many commercial treats, this food doesn’t rely on artificial flavors or sugar to keep dogs interested. That means we can reward generously without compromising their health or energy levels.

Balanced Nutrition:

 
Formulated with real salmon, it supports muscle development, a healthy coat, and good digestion. Dogs feel better and learn better when their body is well-fueled.

Versatile Reward Size:

The small kibble pieces are ideal for fast-paced training — easy to deliver, quick to chew. The larger pieces are perfect for throwing, which helps reinforce movement-based behaviors like recall in a dynamic, fun way.

Keeps Dogs Engaged:

The smell and taste of this food are naturally appealing to dogs, which makes it a reliable motivator even in high-distraction environments. It works in backyards, parks, and public settings.

No Waste, No Switching Treats:

If your dog already eats Pro Plan, you don’t need to worry about digestive upsets or picky behavior. We train with what works — and this food delivers.

Purina Moist & Meaty (Steak Flavor) isn’t just a treat — it’s a high-impact training tool. We use it because it’s soft, portable, and incredibly effective for moments when dogs need a little extra motivation.

Key Benefits:

High-Value Without Overdoing It
This food has a strong, savory scent and soft texture that dogs love — making it perfect for higher-stakes training moments without relying on overly processed, greasy treats.

Easy to Handle and Quick to Reward:

The soft, meaty pieces are easy to break up and deliver without crumbling or sticking to your fingers. It’s ideal for fast-paced training or when you need to keep your dog’s attention sharp.

Perfect for Breakthrough Moments:

We reserve Moist & Meaty for moments that matter — like a dog’s first successful recall or calm focus in a tough environment. It reinforces key behaviors with something that feels extra special.

Shelf-Stable and Convenient:

No refrigeration needed. These pouches are easy to toss into your training bag. Plus they’re portable, and always ready when you need them.

Extends Engagement When You Need More Time:

If your dog is fading at the end of a session but you need just a little more effort — Moist & Meaty is an excellent way to buy a few more minutes of focus. One bite can re-engage a tired dog without pushing too hard.

Works Seamlessly with Kibble:

We often pair Moist & Meaty with Pro Plan Salmon — using kibble for repetition and Moist & Meaty as our high-impact reward. This approach keeps training dynamic and motivating without overwhelming your dog’s diet.
