[NAGDU] Food Question

[Christina Moore]

Hi,
Merry Christmas all!!
I am wondering if I can receive advice about how to approach my 
family in regards to how much food I feed my dog.
As I groom her, I check her eyes and ribs as taught at TSE.  I 
changed her food to Orijen about half a year after leaving class 
because the food seemed better quality so she would get more 
nutrients without needing as much food.
Currently, her coat is not greasy as the food she was on at TSE 
made it, I can feel her ribs but she is not skin and bones, she 
is as energetic as always and her working ability is wonderful.
I guess, I am wondering how to confront them without being rude?
She is my guide after all and I am with her daily away at school 
and here so I monitor her all ofthe time.  They say they can not 
see her ribs but that she is too lean.
Another thing, they keep wanting to give her treats, I am not a 
huge treat person.  I praise her when she does well and let her 
play with her toys when she is not working.  I will give her ice 
as a treat every now and then and she loves it.  I do not believe 
treats are necessary.  I would use some kibble if working with 
her and the clicker but other than that what I do with her is 
working so why change it?
I currently feed her a cup of Orijen in the morning and a half 
cup at night if that helps.
