This was a great idea. I feed her some raw in addition to kibbles. I get it from the local butcher and it's ground scraps. I just thawed a new batch so there wasn't any blood in the bottom of the container yet - so I took itsy-bitsy pieces of the food and made a trail in the back yard (we have about 1/2 acre fenced in the back) with a bowl of raw goodies at the end of the trail.
I whoa-ed her on the step and then told her to 'find'. It took her less than 30 seconds to find it. She followed the trail and had a blast doing it. Looks like I've got a new way to feed her the raw part of her dinner. I need to make the trail a lot more difficult. This was way too easy. But, it was a good start and I'll keep on it.
Still want to use some blood and a deer leg so she understands that it's not just food at the end of the trail.
This was a total blast and I'm looking forward to working her a lot more over the next couple of weeks.
