Question
What is the best yet least expensive food to feed my almost 2 yr old golden retriever and what is the best way to train her to come when called, distractions and all!

Answer
Hi there, Kristen. Have you read the information at http://dogfoods.angelfire.com yet? If not, I would encourage you to do so. I cannot recommend 'the best' food for your dog, because each dog is different. However, there is a list of foods on that web site that I do recommend. In my opinion, Canidae is the best 'bang for the buck' dog food out there, because it's made with human grade ingredients and is affordable. One 40 pound bag of Canidae should last you between 5 and 6 weeks, depending on your dog's activity level and metabolism.

If you're >>really<< on a budget, you might consider Diamond Naturals. There is more on both of these foods at the web page address I gave you a second ago.


I have prepared a video that explains how to teach your dog to come when called. The link to this video is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySD6dfI7vcI

Good luck! Let me know if there's anything else I can help you with!
