| 0:00.0 | A topic I get asked to talk about a lot is that of feeding raw. And although I'm not going to |
| 0:04.9 | go into the details of how you should feed raw, I am going to share with you today what it's |
| 0:10.1 | like training your dogs when you're a raw feeder. And before you turn away, say, I don't feed raw |
| 0:14.8 | and I don't want to, I'm going to share with you that being a raw feeder requires me to have a very detailed strategy when I'm planning |
| 0:21.7 | my training. Today I'm going to share with you what that looks like and how it could benefit |

| 1:27.3 | or feeding meat to anyone |
| 1:28.9 | in your family, which I don't because I don't eat meat, you need good practices, guys. |
| 1:33.9 | We need to wash our hands after we handle raw meat. |
| 1:36.5 | We need to disinfect the areas where we're preparing raw meat regardless if it's for |
