Episode notes
Health Before Obedience
- Evan Doggett argues health and daily habits shape behavior more than obedience alone.
- Small diet changes (add fats, vegetables) often make dogs 25–50% calmer within 7–10 days.
Daily Doggie Multivitamin
- Make a simple daily "doggie multivitamin": blend leftover or fresh vegetables with broth and freeze in ice-cube trays.
- Feed one to five cubes per day depending on dog size to compound better health and calmer behavior.
Fats Fuel Canine Cognition
- Kibble often lacks healthy fats and can become rancid if stored improperly, harming dogs' cognition.
- Adding quality fats boosts brain function, improving learning, retention, and training responsiveness.
