[NAGDU] Hello

[Raven Tolliver]

19 inches! Wow she's a shorty.

Often during training, the food is increased since there is so much
physical and mental exercise. There are also some dogs notorious for
having ping-ponging weight, so it is best that their food is increased
for a couple months, decreased for a couple months, and continues in
such a pattern.

A valuable practice is to feed according to activity level. A larger
dinner is fed on more active days, and a light dinner is fed on
low-key days.
Not anything you'd ever find out from a guide dog school, training
class, or bag of food 95% of the time, but it is a very practical
approach to maintaining weight.

Not sure how long you gals have been together, but that recall will
come along. Good on you for making that a priority. Many raisers don't
work on this, but it is extremely important.

Wishing you many miles with your new partner!

You are valuable because of your potential, not because of what you
have or what you do.
