I would like to do this to increase motivation during training. Is it OK to only feed the dog once a day, instead of 2 times a day?
Full Question:
Hello everyone at Leerburg! I feed my 2 1/2 year old doberman female raw (and kibble once in a while, due to limited storage capacity in our little house).
The question is: is it OK to only feed the dog once a day, instead of 2 times a day? She is about 80 pounds and I feed her about 2.5-3 pounds of raw. Would it be too hard to digest all at once?
I would like to do this to increase motivation during training. She is a crazy bitter and she loves tugging but at times I need to use food in our training.
Thank you for your time and for everything you do to help us all.

If you need to use food in training, then you can definitely cut one meal out of her daily feeding. I do the same thing with my own dogs.
If you need to feed one large meal, make sure it’s done at a time of day that the dog won’t be running around a lot for many hours afterward. I feed at bedtime.
Good luck!
