| Re: Changes in feeding schedule for show?
It depends on the dog. My Fizbin I fed his regular meal and later did I find out that his handler would take and give him even MORE food before going into the ring. Fizbin was very food motivated and my handler didn't use all of his obedience training that he could have to keep Fizbin from snarfing the bait. So he made sure Fizbin was full before going into the ring.
Dogs that are not as food motivated usually are fed less at their meals the night before/ the morning of so that they bait better.
