My Beagle-Chow mix came from a shelter and is incredibly independent. She's sweet and loving, but won't come in the house until she's good and ready - which is usually after full dark. If I try to catch her she laughs and runs away.
She's a smart dog, and treats do not entice her - she's wise to that trick. Well, she was. This food is the only thing that overrides her sense of self-preservation. No more whining and jumping away - if I toss a piece out to her and put a few more in the bowl she comes right in.
Meals are gobbled down, and extra tidbits ensure that I get to sleep when I'm ready, rather than when she finally runs out of critters to chase. Thanks Dr. Marty; my dog loves her nutritious food, and I love having something to lure her into the house with!
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
