Okay, so I have a working doberman, 15months

He is currently on BACF diet, made by a dogs dietitan.

Example of his 1 day of eating :

1kg turkey thigh

200g turkey breast

500g duck breast

100g turkey hearts

40g liver

+Vegetables and supplements

and during high intensity training blocks, I can see he struggles with some muscle soreness(?)

When he gets up from a nap, or after a car drive, his body is stiff for a moment and he has to stretch for some fine

Also his energy levels drop

Can you guys recommend any good supplements I could incorporate into his diet or during training blocks to help with that ?

I need ball recommendations!

I have a 1 year old dobie I train IGP with.

He is obsessed with his toys on daily basis, at home (when I give him, he doesnt have access to the toys otherwise) or in the park where I take him and we Play there, he sometimes loses his mind for a ball easily

Thing changes at the training field. He will still chase the ball or Play tug with me, but he wont be that much into it anymore, Id say its 50% of his normal drive

I am wondering why it so, how I can change it.

My suggestions are that on the training field he feels more pressure, or he thinks of the training field as a place where he works, and not a playground

Any suggestions?

So I have a doberman and we train IGP

I want to make him more ball / toy motivated to the point that I could take the ball any time and he would be dying for IT

He would be dying for it at home and go crazy for IT, and in some places he knows.

I tbink he is more of a chaser, prefers some very fast balls instead of those on ropes.

As of now we dont use toys in the training just food to execute behaviours correctly, but besides that i go with him twice a day to a park and fetch a ball cause he likes IT. I wonder if i didnt make IT lose its value, the Play and balls because of the frequency.

I really want to make him obsessed not just playing

As of know, he needs the ball to be moving to be interesting, it would not be interesting for him if i just take IT out of the pocket. I always need to tease him
