π Nutrition Notes
Tuna provides omega-3 fatty acids and lean protein. The strong smell makes these particularly effective for recall training and working in distracting environments. Use sparingly due to tuna's mercury content β these are a training tool, not a daily snack.
π‘ Tips
- The smellier the better for training purposes
- Tuna should be in spring water, not oil
- Use these only for training β not as regular snacks due to mercury
- Save for the hardest training challenges β recall at the dog park
