In dieser Folge gehe ich der Frage nach: Sollte der Hund sich sein Futter erarbeiten müssen? Also: Ist Contrafreeloading für Hunde sinnvoll oder nicht?

Dabei schaue ich mir an, was Contrafreeloading überhaupt ist, woher es stammt und was die Wissenschaft zu diesem Thema zu sagen hat. Ferner spreche ich darüber, was du meines Erachtens bei Contrafreeloading mit deinem Hund beachten solltest.
