Dry Food vs Wet Food: What Should You Use For Training? | Ep. 167

Hard dry kibble can be tough to chew for small young puppies, not to mention not all that appetizing to them. We often encourage pup parents to soak the kibble before feeding times to make it easier to break down, and bring out that smell so it becomes more enticing to eat! 

If you’ve been listening to us for a while, then you know we also always PREACH about using your puppy’s food for training sessions! So do you make it wet or keep it dry? If your puppy isn’t on a kibble diet, what do you use instead?
