I can report success in what really matters, though. Ripley gave me some weird looks, but picked up his chicken back and shook it, then tried to crunch, then pawed at it, then figured out how to get the job done.
It was so satisfying to hear the bones crunching, knowing that his teeth were getting clean and that we were on a healthier path.
Yeah, that sounds like the reaction I've run into most often. Then around the second meal, the dog starts to hover near the prep area. And in the case of my little senior who wears a caviar expression while he crunches through his chicken backs, the dog vibrates and moans under his breath while waiting the looooong 18 seconds for the RMBs to hit the bowl and the bowl to hit the floor.
I say, "no dogs in the kitchen" and Rip will step back over the threshold. He'll stand just at the line and dance for kibble. I make a production of breakfast time anyway, just 'cause it's fun.
An OB trainer taught me to teach the long stay by putting down the food bowl and building time and distance into the event. years later Ripley is still excited about food time.
Nice to hear Ripley enjoyed his first raw meal! Now for the amazing " poopwatch" later!
It really is so surprising when you see how small and compact it will be. The benefits of feeding raw are two fold. Makes clean up a lot easier.
Bon Appetite Ripley!

Mine also stand right at the threshold and dance at feeding time.
While we eat dinner Nico lays at the edge of the dining room area with her front feet one the exact plank of wood that divides the two rooms.
The only problem we have is that the kitchen is the only room where we can put a water bowl without risking damage to wood floors. So they are now allowed in to get a drink of water.
